go jacks

Gojacks seem like a nice way to go but as far as tires sitting on them for two months was wondering if anyone does this ? I could also lift move and set back down . I have a set of the Northern tool ones you lift car and place tire in sadle I would like to get the go jack ones for less fuss use ? Tips tricks or Just two cent welcome ?

I LOVE my generic brand go-jacks that I got at Carlisle several years ago. I have a couple sets and they make moving cars so much easier. Most of the time I'll roll a car into place then release the jack so the tires sit on the floor (if the car will be parked there for for extended periods of time), but I have kept them on the jacks all winter several times with no ill effects to the tires that I've noticed.

i sold all my junk look alikes and bought real go jacks, i have 4 sets(16)...i use them on all my stuff, i can move a car by myself..ive had cars setting on them for over a year and had no problems wth the tires...only complaint i have is they are expensive, but ive had a set or two for 10+years...never had an issue, AND you can actually buy parts for them if you break something...
