I have been thinking about this for awhile, but have not gotten one yet.
(would have to do a lot of work to the garage before it would fit) - but
have seen a few of the $3000.00 lifts - they are very slow & noisy - making
it very time consuming for those situations during which you go up & down,
up & down, up & down (I do that a lot). The ideal thing to do, in my
opinion, would be to find a used 2 post lift (controlled by air) from an old
garage that is closing or something. You would have to dig a deep hole in
the floor - but the difference is well worth it. I put my time in a few gas
stations, and then a couple of Ford garages in my young & foolish days and I
have missed the old style lifts since then. I want one ever so
bad............

I may end up doing that as a last resort. Back in 1964 I went through
factory training @ Bear for wheel alignment, balancing, brakes & frame
straightening, etc. They had pits. I soon found out it is the opposite
problem of no lift. If you are not working under the vehicle, you have to
walk around it and down into the pit for tools ...............& of course
you have the wrong wrench, so you have to go back & get the correct one (for
me, sometimes several times). There is no substitute IMHO for a good lift. I
did find a pair of floor jacks at Harbor Freight (for $99.00 ea) that will
lift 31.5" - with a piece of a 4x4, that would almost be 3'. I just need to
get some tall jack stands now. I am thinking that it is not exactly 5'4''
(my height) - but it will have to do for a while.
