Default Hydraulic lifts

I noticed that my undercarriage is starting to get some surface rust because of the wet conditions we have been experiencing here in Texas lately, and so I started looking into car lifts that would get the car up in the air so I can deal with those rust issues. I am retired and on a budget so have been looking at the best bang for the buck. I can take out the ceiling in my garage to get the extra head room. What do you guys think about this cheap unit, and what do you suggest I get.

I thought about it, but I lose too much overhead storage in my garage (two original sets of 64-66 Ford bumpers, three 289/32 oil pans, two complete 66 smog setups, couple of consoles- they got to go somewhere). If you got the room - hell yes.

I only wish I could have something like that at home. I have cheap and easy access to them on post, but at home would be SO much better. I say go for it.
