I keep seeing these lifts rated for 1500 pounds that are sort of like two bars that lift to maybe 18 inches. Made for a snowmobile or a quad. I figure a bar welded on the end to parallel the cabin longitudinal/sill and lift with one of the things on each side. Might back up with jack stands but it would end the dillema of I wanna put the jack stand where the lift is, and it would lift the whole car all at once.
So. Has anyone tried it and is willing to admit it? |

I use my motorcycle lift on the 914 all the time. Slides under super easy with a board across it, put the jack stands in, repeat on the other side. No problems.
