I'm looking for some kind of jack to lift the front or rear end of my ATV off the ground for basic maintenance and easier access to the steering, braking and drive train components - maybe even to change oil. I'd like to be able to rotate the axle while it is jacked up. Also, if the jack had some kind of wheels to allow easy re-positioning once jacked up, that would be a plus, but not required. Is there anything available specifically for ATVs? Would something designed for a motorcross bike work? Or, is the best thing just a hydraulic car jack?

If you have a Dennis Kirk catalog look on page 109. I have one..its a bit expensive @ 199.00 though but it ia great. My Shadetree catalog has a similar one on page 12 for 169.00.
