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?
