Shiny paint causes stress.
I call it garage aerobics. I've got a mystery ankle injury that I'm blaming on getting up the wrong way one time too many. It's not the first time I've hurt myself doing it.
I would love to have a mid rise but don't look forward to man-handling them around when they get in my way. Not the fault of the lift system, more the fault of not building big enough to begin with.

I just checked and they're already marked down on the HD site.
I haven't yet figured out the model numbers though - they're slightly different comparing HD to the QJ sites. HD is a 5000SLX, QJ only shows a 5000TLX so it might not be apples-to-apples. I wonder if it's just a naming difference or if it's similar to the Lincoln welders HD sells, they're not quite as good as the ones you get at a welder's supply.
Apparently each side is 80 lbs - so at least they're not super heavy and an old man can move them around with a little grunting.
ETA, I found this to explain the diff between the HD model and the QJ model:
QuickJack - for those of you wondering
TLDR: the quickjack TLX series adds 4" and a 3rd locking position so that might be a better choice than the SLX that HD offers.

Well this guy finally sent me a message and said they have them and they are shipping out. I thought I had my mind made up but may
slow down and think on it for awhile. I do have a transmission that needs removed and rebuilt but it won’t be needed to April. These go 9 and 14 inches from the bottom of the tire and two would cost me around 550.00 delivered.
Canadian Tire had the QJ on sale up here a while back. I believe around $1200-1500. (20% off I think) I didnt realize CT carried them. My garage is 500 sq ft with 7' ceilings. I know it would be a pain to move and trip hazard.
