Earl,
I have one and I left it the length it is because I like to use it with my other cars. I just backed the Cobra a little farther back on it and that makes it easier to jack up the front end. The farther back you get on it, the easier it is to get the jack under the lift bar and the easier it will raise up to get the front legs down. I used chrome tape to mark mine as to where I wanted the wheels as I always backed on and if I went to the back stops, the rear end hung over to far for me to open my garage cabinet doors.
