King off road jack

[TRichards]

Does anyone have an opinion of the King jack that uses an impact gun. I know you have to weld some tube on each of your arms etc or chassis but will it pick up the side of a V8 buggy. Any idea of cost? Thanks.

We tried it on our class 1 car and we were not pleased with it. It is a great concept but the jack itself kept failing...We ended up switching/using an air jack (Bunderson) and it worked great. We used that on our TT as well.

I'm not a real fan of it either. Floor jack works better, but an air jack is best.

As far as cost of the King jack they run about $750. As far as jacking ability on a heavy buggy go another route. I have one that works great on a light buggy but on my heavy one it does not work good. A cheap alternative is the radflo at $350. I swithed to one of these and it lifts my big car with ease and is very quick also.

i will second the radflo it is a very good jack we have had one on the 12 car for 2 years now

I found some old SAW air jacks for my car. Sent them back to SAW for a rebuild and they will work out great.

There are two of them so I am mounting them on either side of the car. Now I realize that is a little more added weight but, the simplicity is what I was looking for.

I can't wait to mount them and get them working. They don't take much pressure only about 55-60 lbs according to SAW. Also, in having air for the jacks I plumbed quick disconnects for air for the tires or anything else that uses air.

We have a electric/hydraulic on board system. Works great, driver raises car after co- attaches foot.

I have two King jacks. One for my 1600 the other for my class 10. I do not like them. The foot attached with a spherical bearing makes it more unstable than a high lift. If you could lock the foot to keep it from moving it would be a great jack. I have used it on my V8 4 seater. it picks it up no problem just carry extra batterys for the impact.

Tried it. Hated it. Can't handle the weight. We have the Bunderson air jack at it is awesome.

We have an on-board, stand-alone hydraulic jacking system on the RaceShock Coyote. Designed by the engineer behind the Big Horn Rock Shock, it will jack up either side of the car in seconds, and the codriver can use the impact on the lug nuts sooner. Call Lee at 602-493-3700 for details.

never really been a fan of ours either. totally agree with what adam said, that would've made it much more stable. another side effect i thought of is the jack really doesn't benefit you if you get stuck in a hole or high-centered. a standard high-lift jack works just as well, and really doesn't take that much longer.

the Bunderson air jacks are a great product!

I herd that it works on light buggys but on the bigger heavier cars I havent really talked to anyone who has used them. Were gonna try it out this year at v2r in the 5 car. We are also carrying a spare jack, just in case. So I guess I will have to let you know after the race.

I have one on my 1300 car and I love it, rock in front and back of a tire to keep the car from rolling and the jack works great. May not be good for getting you un-stuck though, you may need more travel like a high lift jack. Those that hate yours, pm me, I have friends that would love to buy them from you.:cool:
