I've had this problem before when changing a transmission while the car was on stands. What I did was to use a scissors jack sitting on top of blocks of wood. I think that the block of wood that you

Here are my 2 cents: cent #1) Any garage has room enough for a hoist. It's just a question of how crazy/creative you are. See www.kaplanfamily.net/dormer.htm to see how crazy I am. cent #2) Hoists ar

And there are lifts other than the two post/four post lifts that we think of first - check out http://www.rotary-lift.com/index.html for some ideas. I expect to buy a VersaLift in the next year.

Great site, BUT.... have you tried to request a brochure? Even simpler, just a price quote? Lordy, lordy! They want more info than the IRS! Carol PS I've wanted one of those lifts for about ever. Doe

Think USED! I did, it took a while but my local tire dealer closed out a store in the adjacent county. He had a "looks like new" $3800 Ammco 7,000 lbs. twin post chassis pickup lift. Got it for $1500

Best bet is to get a new jack. Harbor Freight has a nice one for about $50 dollars and they ship it for free. It weighs about 70 lbs but the handle comes off for storage. It will lift the car about 2
