      I bought one of these Powerbuilt 4000 lbs units to try since my floor jack would not go high enough without putting blocks underneath it.

      The unit doesn't give me great confidence. As you can see in the picture it leans to the side as the jacking point is not center under the lifting point. The bottle jack portion is not attached or welded to the bottom plate in any way, it just sits on top of the plate. I haven't used bottle jacks much so I don't know if this is common for the shaft to lean that much and how that is going to affect the longevity of the unit. It did go high enough to raise the rear tire off the ground and then it when one more notch but that was it.

      I liked the idea of this because it has an actual safety jack that can be locked and not rely solely on the hydraulics.
      Anybody got a better solution for doing quick winter/summer tire changes?

      If you want a floor jack for your garage, a Harbor Freight Super duty is a good choice. It's a high quality jack and is within an inch or two of the high lift model which should come in handy if using the center lift points. I also have another Harbor freight that I use when doing rotations. I just lift up the side and go move the tire front to rear and rear to front. I don't own jack stands and if going under the car, the tires would be on. I've built cradles out of 2X4's. That I use on other cars. I've found these to be easier than ramps.
