http://www.dannmar.com/dannmar-produ...fts/maxjax.asp Lifts bikes too. Doesn't lift full height, but it fits in a regular garage, and if you get the little fucking wheelie seat, I'd bet that working underneath a car has to suck a shit ton less than working with fucking jackstands and a creeper. Under two grand.

I saw a guy working under a car the other day with an old bumper jack and no stands. Wanted to go kick it to teach him a lesson, but figured that might be dangerous.

Yeah, you could have hurt your foot. That would suck.

If I get my disability settlement, a lift is a sure thing, and this looks like a good option.

To take the "fear" out of getting under a car with stands, put the car on jackstands, then put the jack under the side of vehicle you are working on as well. Take a very slight amount of the pressure off of the jackstand with the jack. This way you have 2 things holding up the side of the car you are working on and you'll be more at peace with the thing staying up in the air.

I actually looked at getting one of those. One of my friends has a full blown 2 post lift he had bought from a car dealer garage at a liquidation sale. So now I just use his. But it is a perfect lift for low overhead usage. You really need to make sure your garage floor is at least 3000 PSI concrete though.

LOL I want! That's awesome! I bet you could sit on a little rolling stool and do all your work.

We've been looking at lifts for a while now - now that I've gotten into cars, it's a whole new world.

Ehhh.....if it only goes 4 feet it's pretty worthless.
For a garage, I'd just get 2, 3.5 ton truck jacks with truck jackstands if you want to raise a vehicle a few feet. Granted doing brake jobs is easier standing up, but I mean how many are you going to do? Anything from underneath is going to be hard when you have to sit on the ground anyway.
