Home Garage Lifting Options - My Lift Stand

YzGyz

all of those options posted are great options. I'm in the garage car lift club. I will never go back if I could afford it! I looked into all of those except the lift stand during my lift browsing. I got lucky and found a scissor lift for dirt cheap and bought it. It really changed my wrenching life! It just make thing so much easier and safer! I probably would of gotten the Quickjack by Ranger/bendpak if I didn't stumble apon my lift. It's small, easy to set up, convenient with it's mobility and not priced too bad. My first choice would of been a 2 post of some kind like the Maxjack. It would be very awesome to be able to sit on a stool and wrench. Sure those other options are better than a floor jack and jack stands, but you still have to be on your back when you wrench! That sucks! If I had the ceiling height, I might of gotten the Maxjack.

PS. Tbatt has the Quickjack by Ranger. He had a few nice pics. It's pretty nifty!

That is a 5 gallon bucket next to the car for height reference.


Here is an underside view so you can get an idea of how much or what you can access on under the car.


Either way, nice upgrade

Ok, lifts finally showed up. I am impressed with the quality of them. Great amount of lift and looks safe. That being said, it was pain to get the car up high enough to get them under it. Granted, this was my first time lifting the Z and my floor jack is pretty tiny. I am going to upgrade to a floor jack with some more travel and that will make it way easier to use. I think with the lift stands and my regular jack stands for suspension/brake work I am good to go. Big plus for me is they are actually pretty compact for what they do and stack nicely.
