Wildfire Trolley Jack (or any four post lift jack) experience?

[Billccm]

I've had my Wildfire 4 post lift for about three years and have no complaints other than kicking myself for not buying the trolley jack at the time of ordering. I've decided to look into buying the jack, but thought I'd ask the experts here if there are any caveats, or issues I need to be aware.

Thanks guys!

They are ok. You need to keep the tracks clean and the rollers lubed. Once you get one you will wish you had two.

What about clearing the oil pan when the jack is totally collapsed?

I have one on my hoist and it works fine. It clears oil pans and any suspension components just fine.

YouTube videos claim 3.5 inches above the runway tracks when collapsed.

Wildfire is showing 3.75 inches when collapsed. That's getting higher than I would like. I think my mustang oil pan is about 4 inches off the ground.

I will bet your pan is higher than that.

Just put the trolley jack all the way to front of the lift. Then if the jack does not clear the oil pan, you can back up the car little, then put a piece of 2x6 in front of both front tires and drive the car up on the wood blocks to give you the clearance.

Never heard of Wildfire products. Interesting thread, I'm looking to buy a couple of bridge jacks. Don't really want to spend 3 grand on them though.

I have one on my Advantage lift (same factory as the Wildfire). I use it all the time. Like others said, keep the tracks clear and the rollers lubed. No problem clearing the oil pan on a B Body, and I have a Triumph TR6 on it right now with no issues. Keep the jack stowed at the front of the lift. I bought a second lift about 6 months ago, from Wildfire this time. I chose not to get the bridge lift as I already had one, but I did notice they have increased in price exponentially since my original purchase.

3-3/4” is still pretty low. I know my Cobra’s oil cooler scoop and the front spoiler on my 17 Shelby GT350 I owned would not clear that. Shouldn’t be a problem for most Mopars at stock ride height.
