Default I'm done with Jack stands - EZLift

I'm so sick of trying to get these Mustangs up on jack stands
Scare myself half to death getting it up on them and always feel
like I'm going to be crushed at any second when I'm under them.

I'm ordering one of these on Monday .... to hell with the cost.
Figure it will pay itself back in saved frustration in no time.

why dont u just go the next step further and get a full lift?
but i agree that is a much safer idea then jackstands.

Who has room for a full lift, plus all the install headaches?

Watch the demo vids, actually looks very well engineered and thought out.

breaks down to 60lbs parts
Folds against wall
slides under car
26" lift
uses 3/8" power drill to operate.

showed guys pushing on cars hard in vid with no movement.

get caster wheel option and roll you car around on lift.

Why not pay a few hundred more and get a two post car lift?
75"+ lift height

Post lifts are great but .......

take up a lot of space
are a pain to install
cant take it over to my friends house to work on his car
cant take it with me when/if I move
ect.
ect.

Portability and low storage impact are important to me.

You can move it with you if you moveand your friends can come to your place.
But I can agree with the other ones.
I can't talk though, I'll still be usng floor jacks and jack stands.

I can see problems trying to do any thing in the middle of the car like tanny or exhaust work. Nice cause they are portable but not for serious work. Not high enough for tranny/motor lifts to get underneath either.

2 post lift for $1799.00 http://eagleequip.com/page/EE/PROD/LI-ETP/GLO-9A
