anybody use one ? I got a two post lift but some things require all the wheels loaded. See them on craigslist for around $500. Thinkin' about picking one up (ramp not a rocker)

How about a link. I'd love to get under the R/T in the driveway like that. How does it work.

Thought about building one years ago.....the rockers scare the crap out of ya lol

Storing it when not in use would be a issue.

If four wheel loading needs to be a option why not just build a lift platform?

That would be my biggest question, and then if you build one, where ya goin to put it again?

if you're thinking of using that setup to work under the car, I can't think of a worse work height.

I brought the kwik ramp lift used a few years back, very easy to use & disassembles into a small area in the garage....

About 30" of height off the floor....

I bought a QUICK JACK by bend pack,, real POS............. It will not work on anything bigger than a sprint car. I have a Mazda B4000 (ford ranger) there is no where on the frame to put the jack so it will lift the whole truck. The jack is short. Has unmanageable hydraulic hoses, they are so stiff they are like ridged hard plastic tubes that will not flex at all. I spent $84 to have new ones made that I could handle and store. The ramps are very heavy and not easy to move into position.
Paid $1295 and will probably never use them.

1000 lb. chain hoist and pin it to the ceiling above the lift if indoors.

Billy Barty or Tattoo from Fantasy Island might disagree.

Exactly. You'll be crawling in on your hands and knees, then be sitting there under the car - still working above your head, but cracking your head on every dang thing and instead of jist rolling under it on your creeper. Hope the driveway isn't stone or dirt - because if I go to hell, I imagine I'd be searching for a lost screw in the largest stone driveway for all of fiery eternity lol.
