I can justify this very easily. In the past, using jackstands, I have changed full suspension to coil overs, changed rear diff and transmission lube, installed full cat-backs , did full brake jobs, changed out steering racks

I have borrowed my buddy's garage that has a full lift to install the oil cooler and brake cooling ducts on the 370Z and that was enough for me to know that a lift, even a low rise one was in my future. It's not for everyone, yes you can get a full 4 post lift for the same price but height limitations prevents that in my garage

It is so worth it. I kick myself for not buying a lift a decade ago.

I see in the picture that you have some low cost ramps ;), is your Z lowered?

Just trying to determine if the Ground Clearance, Driver Over kit or DIY low cost ramps are necessary.

No car is stock height, need the planks to clear the lift. It's the first time I use it so still figuring it out. Might try my 2 piece race ramps next time just to raise it up a touch.

(paid $1900.00) I have 8 foot ceilings in my garage and have no problem lifting the nismo all the way to the top of the jack without hitting the ceiling. 4 foot under the car makes it nice. I have mine permanently bolted to the floor and I can park in between them without banging the drivers door getting in and out. the passenger door is to tight to open without banging it, so no passenger entry or exit in the garage. i also mounted the pump and hoses permanently so i just center up and swing the arms under and lift.

Take some pics!

Atlas Kwik Bay 7000lbs

A little more expensive, but quite versatile and since I actually park on it, it's completely out of the way (no posts)
