No problem man.

I've had this jack for roughly 6 or 7 years now, and it has been awesome. I bought it before Central Hydraulics took on the Pittsburgh name for HF.

I finally remembered to measure my jack at home, and it barely gets 14" at the tippy top. 23 inches? Hell yes, that solves the problem!

Get those Daytona's while you can. Snap-On is suing HF over those:
