I have a Bendpak MD6xp

No problem with my 8' garage. I can get to everything except for the floor pan. I had no problems pulling my 3.2 six motor and trans, hell hole repair and re-installation of everything. I have a trashed hydraulic stool on the lowest setting that I roll around on. I am 5'10" and have no problems rolling around under the car to work on it. Night and day better than jack stands and cardboard to lay on.
