My floor jack's maximum height is 19.5 inches. My brother's jack is approximately the same. Not enough to raise both sides to 20 inches. I could buy or make tall ramps for all four wheels and stick a platform made of 2x8s or 2x10s under the jack. That's one solution I considered. Constructing the Lift Master™
is even simpler: hacksaw 12 inches off a 48-inch-long steel channel, attach a couple of 5-inch rubber pads .— and it's finished! (Well... my OCD-lite will probably compel me to spray it yellow to match the floor jack, so there's that.) There's adequate clearance to get the Lift Master™ under the front or back with its channel upside down over the jack's pad. The pad will be in the trough, preventing the channel from slipping. The arms will extend out 18 inches (from the jack's centerline) on each side, pads positioned under the lift points.
C'mon, Al — you don't think it's a simple, semi-innovative solution?
Okay, where's Grant?!
