Default Does anyone use low-rise lifts?

Does anyone use the Bend-Pak LR-60 or something similar? Seems like a decent solution if you do not have a high garage ceiling. Any other suggestions for a lift in a garage with an 8 foot ceiling? The price on this particular lift is about $1250 shipped. Thanks for the help.

Hi Greg, I have a Bend-Pak mid rise (4' left) and love it. I have 10 ceiling. I am able to do suspension, brake, routine maintaince etc. Using it to install my PSE saved me a bundel. The only problem I have is that the car will not clear it as the car is lowered. My solution is to use two 2X6 "ramps".

Dave,

Great info. Thanks. I was thinking of some kind of wood ramps for clearance. Shoot me a PM if you get a chance. I would love to see your setup if possible. Thanks.

Naw, they are for short mods..............

I would love to have one. Eric Sandoval is looking at one like this to. He said his car should clear the one he is thinking about.
