+1 on the EZ Car Lift.  I do not have unlimited garage space or height.  =
It works great for me.  and as I have worked under a regular lift, and =
being 66, I find it easier to slide around on a creeper where I can rest =
my head on the creeper as opposed to standing, craning my neck, and =
working above me.   they have sales every couple of months so if you are =
patient you can save some $$

=20

Plus you can get different pieces for the car lift.  I have pieces for =
my 350Z and for my Triumphs.  Not hard to swap it, or store it.  made =
working on the Z real easy (in addition to the LBCs)

=20

You can also get adapters for a Honda Accord (the =
=E2=80=9Cramps=E2=80=9D aren=E2=80=99t quite long enough).  I thought =
about it but it=E2=80=99s a Honda.  I never have to work on that car!

Steve is correct.  The EZ Car Lift capacity is 2 tons, not 2000 lbs. as =
I had posted.=20

Hi Jerry,

               I have an EZ Car Lift.  It is very compact and takes up =
virtually no garage space when stored on it's side. It takes less that =
10 minutes form storage to having the car up in the air.  It li its the =
car 26=E2=80=9D.  A decent working hight for a low garage ceiling =
garage. The unit use a 1/2 inch drill to rise and lower my car  It works =
well for my occasional use. I do believe that it=E2=80=99s max lifting =
weight is 2500 pounds.  Within the weight range of most LBCs. I believe =
the Quick Jack raise faster but, but doesn=E2=80=99t lift as high. Many =
for the other low lift hydraulic lifts take up a lot of storage space =
and must be bolted into place.  Not an issue if you want to permanently =
mount it, but a pain if you want to only use it occasionally

               Hope this helps.

               Bob

I don=E2=80=99t have enough space to install a conventional lift in my =
garage so instead I=E2=80=99m considering buying a Quick Jack lift =
either in 3500 or 5000 pound capacity. I have an IRS TR4A.=20

=20

Questions:

If you have a QJ what lifting capacity do you have?=20

If 5000# does it fit easily under the car (tell me what Triumph you =
have)?

Pros and cons realizing that a 4 post or 2 post is not feasible for me.

Any best deals that you=E2=80=99ve found? Currently Costco seems to have =
a good price on the 5000# unit.

=20

Thanks. looking for feedback.
