Finally, an affordable Race Jack for the masses! We've taken the best ideas in offroad race jacks and combined them in our unique FOA style to bring you a seriously fast race jack at an affordable price!
Our new jack has a lift capability of about 18" and will lift that height in mere seconds using your 1/2" cordless impact driver. The 1/2" end goes directly into the top of the jack...no special socket required. Slip the lift pin into your previously installed 1/2"ID lift point, put the impact into the top of the jack and hit the trigger! Your vehicle is off the ground in seconds making for a fast, easy wheel change. We have a large billet foot to ensure stability.
Our Race Jack comes complete with a mounting kit (pic of mounted jack above is using a custom fabbed mount, not the same as supplied) and enough tube for adding 4 lift points on your vehicle.

This jack has already proven itself in the King of the Hammers race, as well as being mounted on numerous desert race team vehicles.

Lift height-- 18"
Initial Lift point-- adjustable- 3"-16"
Weight-- 12lbs

$325ea.

looks great. can you use it with just a half inch drive ratchet if you dont have a impact with you? i know it will take longer but it still works right?

That is correct, I would imagine a cheater bar would be necessary but with the wide thread pitch on the body and collar it may be doable.

This jack works incredibly fast, from taking it off the mount to lifting the car and re-installing, it is quite impressive.

Definitely.... no cheater bar needed either. I've done it with a regular 1/2" ratchet. Just slow.

Since it was designed with the racers in mind, it was set up for the 1/2" impact most guys carry onboard to make the wheel swap quick. We set it to take the 1/2" end directly, rather than having a hexhead on top, which could require 2 different sockets to be juggled around if your lug size was different.

I've lifted the front of my Super Duty diesel off the ground with it, Bender lifted everything in his shop with it, including his forklift. It was used at KOH to push a trailer away from the motorhome it was next to.... it's pretty beefy.:smokin:
