They wouldn't be selling this if it didn't work for most cars, and like any lift except a monster two-post I wouldn't get under it without four stout jackstands providing primary support.

That should have been scary! Those ratcheting jack stands are dangerous. Last time I had my 914 in the air like that I had two jack stands (I have 4 Escos) on each side AND a floor jack on each side just in case AND put the tires under there as well.

The cost of a decent lift is less than my annual insurance deductible. Smart money says buy a good lift and don't risk your life and limb.

I also just bought some 2 ton aluminum stands from OTC. They use pins instead of ratchets, similar to Esco’s, and don’t have a pad that’s merely welded on to support the weight of the car. I sprayed their jack saddles with PlastiDip in order to give them some non-skid effect and prevent any movement. The best part is that they are some of the shortest stands I’ve found: only 9.5” when fully lowered.

FYI, I just got an email from Pelican saying they are giving $100 off QuickJack but they are quite a bit more expensive than Costco.
I got mine a year ago from Costco and love it.
For me there are a couple of things that set it apart from all the others:
* it only requires 110V
* it does not have to be installed and bolted to floor
* price--I think I paid about $1K

Bottom of 996 when lifted with QuickJack is about 19"?

So we seem to be looking at Liftbars for around $1k that can get 996 up to 25 1/2", or a thousand pound (!) scissor lift for around $2k that can get up to 48".
