Curious which lifts you all have, seen a members garage had a quick jack and got me thinking of buying a quick jack (used, manual locking) or a new Titan MRL 600. About $700 difference price wise. I have a few cars I will be starting on fairly soon. Figure a lift of some sort will help with torquing body and probably better/safer for long term raised state rather than jack stands. Note, I will be working in a standard two car garage. Thoughts?

I have a snap on mid rise lift. I can drive over it with any car, including my 914. Raises the car to the top of my 8' ceiling. No installation. Just put it on the floor and use it.
On any lift, raise the car a couple inches off the ground and push hard on both ends of the car. Better to have an issue 3" off the ground than 3'. The balance point will change when you remove the engine and trans. Be prepared. |
