This has probably been debated previously. if so, my apologies!
Looking for a lift for a 2013 RT-S, it looks like a choice between the Big Blue Lift and the J&S Jacks (with the requisite Spyder adapters). Both seem capable of doing the job.
Any input would be appreciated before I pull the 'purchase' trigger!

Thank you all.
Sure spend THAT money, or get a $89 Harbor Frieght 1500lb lift with some basic Jack stand and spend the rest on farkles. Let's see I've done 5 oil changes, Wheel and Tire changes, Ron Swaybar install, Shock adjuster install, R&R my ACS system, installed Air Ryde rock Armor, and more over the last few years.
But, if you really need the prestige of owning the Big Blue or J&S, (plus adapters that cost as much as the HF lift) they're VERY worth the extra money you'll spend on them, I hear anyhow.
Safe Rides,

I just recently purchased a J&S Jack, while the shipping is less than desirable, the jack and adapter itself are very well made. I recently used it to remove front wheels in order to install fender leds the RT was super stable. Just because I can and I wanted to I raised the bike to the jacks max lifting height put the stops in place released pressure off the jack, I was able to climb on the bike and rock back and forth and shake the bike, I had zero feeling of the bike tumbling or jack twisting and the bike taking a dump. In my opinion the jack is well worth the money and I would highly recommend it.
Just know the website says 2-3 weeks, they really need to change that to say 7 weeks!
I have the Harbor Freight and was always concerned about how much it wobbled as it was jacked unit I braced the Spyder once it was up... just took delivery of the J&S (with Spyder adapter) and love it. The confidence it gives me in its stability while be jacked and in the air are worth the extra cash for me.
