2 post hoists are getting to be pretty cheap as well.

Thanks for the re-affirm on the crappy solid rubber gaskets... I'll plan on doing another flush and fill with an OEM gasket...oh well.


I'd love to have a 2 post or any serious car lift, but my garage only has 8' ceilings with attic storage above. The Quickjack is the best alternative in my situation, and can be used on either side of the garage, outdoors, or even to a friend's house. They make 12VDC versions too for track junkies! With the 7000lb model like mine, I've lifted everything from my E31 8 series cars, my E38 7 series, my X5, my E39's, E36, E46, all the way down to my Z3 M Coupe...Pretty versatile!
