It was *visibly* crab walking last time it was professionally aligned, and the wheel wasn’t straight, and they scored up my Ohlins top hats (now SSB). I’m happier (and faster) with my home brew alignment

Well, that's not what you asked.

I got these, the regular ones.

http://www.bbxracing.com/product_inf...products_id=69

For my 372mm discs I have to have it on the longest setting, and with my floor levelers the QuikJak doesn't lift quite high enough to get the rears on the scales. I'll have to make a lift....for the lift lol.

I'm about to purchase a property that has a real lift so I may end up selling these and going with the lift stands.

Nice! I have a Max Jax and it's been a live saver. I've been meaning to pick up some of those block thingies to get my car up off the ground so I can make changes without having to lay on the ground. After having a lift, I don't know that I could ever go back

The whole vertical part slides in all directions on this slick pad deal, so you can turn the wheel lock to lock etc. You measure toe on the sticks (heavy *** stiff things) like you would the edges of the wheel. Life saver when doing corner weights cause you don't have to constantly go up down, jump on cage, up down, jump on cage. If I get this other house Ima get these too:

So then you still need a string line round the car i guess to measure from the sticks?

Yeah, those things! I'm looking at these, though since my lift only goes up about 40"+/- anyway.

I ain't gonna lie... I'm old and stubborn and one of the reasons I haven't bought them is exactly what you just said. They are the cheapest and perfect height, so they kinda have me by the *****. LOL
