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? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Looks like its a nice solution. It's a low rise sissor lift, works well, mine has a 6000# capacity. You can find them on Craigslist used, search, car lift. Thought about the motorcycle lift idea a few times, just never willing to spend the money, don't need two motorcycle lifts if it didn't work....don't own a motorcycle anymore. But in theory, and weight capacity, two should lift a 914. If you try it.....post pics/video. Jeff |
