Ezcarlift, Lift Options

[JoeD]

After years of jacks stands and tight quarters, I finally pulled the trigger on a “lift”. My garage is tight and has a very low ceiling so couldn’t do what I really wanted and put a real lift in; opted for the ezcarlift. It arrived yesterday and within an hour had the car up. I can move it from the garage to the driveway as needed and though only 26” of lift, I am absolutely giddy about the amount of room I now have underneath.

About to re-do the front end (steering rack, tie rod ends, control arm / sway bar bushings etc) and brakes / rotors all around. Plus the undercoat is peeling and needs to be scraped and redone, and lots of other little things need freshening up. This will make life so much easier!

I went with the quickjack.

Its actually cheaper and doesn't require a drill to lift it and doesn't have any cross members between the lifts. They also call it portable but each side is probably 60-70lbs. I can't see taking it to the track. I get by with a simple scissor jack to change tires at the track.

But like everyone says... I should have bought one of these years ago no matter what kind you get.

Some people like myself like the idea of not having to deal with a separate hydraulic pump and hoses. Sure a mechanical lift that requires a drill isn't ideal either and I'm surprised that the ezcarlift is more expensive. I would think a mechanical method of raising and lowering would be less expensive than a hydraulic pump setup.

All of these mid rise lift options area pretty awesome though for those of us that don't have the space for a real lift.
