The auxiliary frame set looks brilliant, and the HF jack attachment would certainly distribute the jacking load better.
Thanks for the suggestions thus far.

I did find this, but $$$$$

Now I only need something to adjust the paranoia I feel every time I slide under a car ha ha.

I bought one of these HF cross beam and they do not extend far enough to be under both jacking points on one side.

Has anyone tried a kwik-lift? Seems it would be nice if the front could fold down when unloaded (to enable easy storage as a drive on - and I'd like it more if the lift height was just a little higher.

For the paranoia - paranoia is good here... always have a backup...

For most work I lift on to ramp sections at one end, HD jackstands at the other, chock under the jackstand tires and position the floor jack as a backup near where I am working.

If space is limited the one sided lift is pretty slick. Just roll them out of the way when not in use. Prices are approx $ 1500. T

77Tony,

Would you have a link to the photo of the 1 side lift?
It seems there is a "www. - - - ---".. on the photo but the rest of the address is washed out somehow?
Thanks in advance!

Coincidentally, I'm spending the afternoon today setting the anchors for the Maj-Jax at the new home in Oregon. I won't bore you with the details, but the interesting parts so far have been with coring through the tile floor and setting the anchors through the tile. Plus I need to get longer hoses to reach the lift that's a couple feet forward of where it was relative to previous garage door wall. I'll update the Max-Jax thread with all that when I'm done.

For this thread, if safety and convenience are the goal, the Max-Jax has worked well for several of us in this group. Moves completely out of the way when not needed, picks the car up to about 48" at the lift pads, plus offers full undercar access that most scissor lifts can't.

Also coincidentally, I was just up the road, yesterday, driving the (McKensie pass hwy). Still smiling from that.

All work related of course, logging my S4 chips at elevation (5325')

Dan, Google "Single post car lift" Plenty to choose from. T
