Default Re: I Have a Lift!!

No way could I work on my cars without a lift (aka spoiled). Once you have one, you will swear by it.
I bought a new Atlas 9000lb 2 post lift several years ago from Greg Smith Equipment for ~$1500. They now list for $1700 plus shipping. I did all the install, it wasn't too bad. Good luck. You will kick yourself for not getting one...

i too have a lift but mine is a in ground single post made by the Globe Hoist Co. this came out of a service station and is a 10,000 lb. lift made in 1963. served me well for last 25 years and i have even pulled engines with it. was a pain in the ass to dig a hole 8 feet deep for it. it cost me 500.00 plus one day to rent jackhammer to bust through solid rock. what you can do when youre young.
