I have a directlift also, terrific for storage and minor maintenance ( no problem doing oil changes at all ) including Trans fluid.. Easy breezy
I use a cheap 1.5 ton hydraulic jack, on the lift ramp, to raise car and remove wheels..

 

Also looking into lifts currently too. Since I want mine mainly for storage I'm going 4 post. For the minor DIY stuff I will do the jacking trays still allow you to take the wheels off and lift the car with the 4 post. Many of the 4 posters are able to be moved around as they don't require bolting to the ground, which is another plus.

 

I've just installed one of these. Only for storage. Wife is happy to get her garage spot back. Florida summer is nasty to park outside. She only gets to keep it until the gt350 shows up.

 

Insert comment asking how you get your car to stay on the lift upside down

 

Lol, pics shows the right way on the app. As soon as I tap it, it's upside down. My IT skills!!!!! Everything technical that I touch brakes.
