Ranger quick lift
 
Finally got around to trying this out on the z. Due to all the snow z was stuck in my other garage, then it snowed maybe 1 inch and i got stuck in my driveway, which is flat, so after i ran hot water over it i got it in the garage. Anyway if your looking for a good way to lift your z for maintenance or to wax it without having to bend over this is for you. I did have to cut some plywood to raise the rubber blocks up some so my side skirts would clear the lift but i am on swifts and these just slide under. I just took a quick pic on my way out to work will update tomorow with pics of how high it raises it. They make 2 models one rated for 3500 lbs and the one i got that is rated for 5000 lbs. it took about 3 weeks for me to get and was shipped freight on a tractor trailer. Also the quick disconnects leak so they need upgraded. But for 1300 shipped it is well worth it. Unlike other scissor jacks you are able to get under the middle to do exhaust/tranny or anything like that. Each side weighs maybe 50lbs and has wheels on one side so you can store them easily.

Looks nice. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but does it have safety lockouts on it, or does it rely solely on the air pressure?

Uses hydrolic, either 120v or off a battery if wanting to take to the track with you and that is a pic of the lock, there are 2 positions

Good, just it's not solely relying on the hydraulic pressure alone as that would be bad ;)

I didn't know those existed. Pretty amazing set up. I'll have to start saving my pennies.
