But give him a bell

[TheBoy]

Gixer must occasionally read this, as he sent me a text, which I'll try to dig out and cut and paste here.  But having seen your drive, you may struggle with lifting equipment.

So Gixer says:

just seen

Mine lifts higher ( but not high enough to hit the low garage ceiling with the car), and so was more £ than the ones In the video already too expensive for terbs and most people’s needs tbh. It has wheels to movevthe car once jacked but this requires a very level floor which my garage isn’t. It’s not suitable for drive ways as a result and if not level would bend the support bars

Any lift to take wheels off will require lifting on the sills which still requires bending down to place rubber blocks in The correct place, even the pros still have to do that, and once your down there actually pumping a trolly jack is then the easier job, until you have to do both sides and both axles then your staring to get into a full lift option
The “Costco”ones in the video they used to sell are probably the cheapest option to lift all four corners
 They could be stored together side by side under the car when not in use in a garage then moved apart and just driven onto, if the garage is wide enough for access of course

Not aware of a cheaper full lift option than the kwick lift one but I haven’t looked for years



These were £900 pre vat 10 years ago
