The internal valve goes bad & you have 3" of lift down at floor. But they are good at warranty!

I have a blue one for sale in NYC

Did not realise how HUUGE that thing was. I can't bring it with me to the track...

Need something smaller. Much smaller - just for changing tires. Any ideas?

Problem is, most lift points don't work so well with the shape of it...

You need a lift point that hits the center of the pad, not the edges... the edges are weak. I ended up cutting a slot in a 5" long piece of a two-by-four and ziptied it to it... no more problems with it, but a jack that expensive shouldn't break like that.
