Happy B-day & Merry Xmas to me. I ordered my lift today.

http://www.kwiklift.com

I ordered the 5000lbs lift. This is enough for what I need.
Real cool guy. Spoke with the owner Danny. Any of you in
vegas area, they will be at some hotrod / Corvette show.
I don't remember when he said it was, in the next few weeks
I think. They will also be in Chicago at the Corvette show.

I can't wait............ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

Aha!

I drew up a thing the other day using 4 jack stand uprights, and 2 914 jacks, for mounting on a lift.

Also, I figured while I was at it, I would draw provisions for taking the 'track' out from under each wheel.

as i finished the phone rang and my dog ate the drawings while I was turning down a deal on a vacation I won to beautiful 'historic' savannah georgia for $499 a person... hey mister pakistan... i am in beautiful 'historic' savannah georgia.. lay off.

This whole thing is the truth, wrapped in a lie.

people like seeing vendors around.
It makes it easy to ask questions.
But, we all like to know where you (the collective you) are located.

thanks Danny!

They look nice, but is it at all tricky to lift the rear of the lift with a long car on it?

Thanks for asking.

No, it is really a very simple deal.

It is no different than just jacking up the rear of a car.
Since the length of the lift is adjustable, you adjust it to fit your type of cars.

Once you elevate the rear, you pull the leg pins, and the rear legs drop down and LOCK in place.
It takes about 30 seconds to have the car completely in the air, not 20 minutes. AND it is about twice as high, or more, as on stands.

I crawled out from under one of my 66 novas ( obviously, on a Kwiklift ) to come in the house and play on the computer.

We are preparing the car for a new GM crate motor, in a couple of weeks.
I have been draining fluids, doing prep work, stuff like that.

Yes, I am the Kwiklift guy, but, I am also a car guy. I know what you guys go thru getting under these cars, and its not fun. - or safe

Sincerely, if you get the chance to use a kwiklift, you will NEVER, EVER, go back to jackstands.

Thats the reason that we sell and ship so many of them around the country, and many, many of them to Europe.

My garage is tiny and the floor has cracked and has high/low spots due to freeze/thaw does that present a problem?

not at all!!
we attend about 100 hot rod shows per year, all over the country, setting up the lift and our complete display booths.

we are always on asphalt, or concrete, sometimes flat and smooth, sometimes wavey, and uneven.

the lift is very solid on any of those types of surfaces, and will still operate very well.
not to worry.
by the way, we have the capacity to do custom applications, if needed.
but whats really great about the kwiklift, - if your car will fit in the garage , the kwiklift will fit.
