How stupid is it, to use a pair of quad/motorcycle lifts Options

[worn]

I keep seeing these lifts rated for 1500 pounds that are sort of like two bars that lift to maybe 18 inches. Made for a snowmobile or a quad. I figure a bar welded on the end to parallel the cabin longitudinal/sill and lift with one of the things on each side. Might back up with jack stands but it would end the dillema of I wanna put the jack stand where the lift is, and it would lift the whole car all at once.

So. Has anyone tried it and is willing to admit it?

Well...

So long as you were lifting a 914, and the lift was stable, had pins to lock it in place, and you could match the speed of the two lifts to raise and lower it - seems like it might work.

But it also seems that it would just be easier to buy a 2 post lift or a mid rise lift.

I was figuring on 2 people. $89 x 2 and each weighs no more than 100 lbs. Does have safety bars and lifting to 18 inches is as high as I normally go anyway. Trying to reduce investment and total tool mass. I am in my own way most of the time already. It just seems like someone woulda tried it already.
