They're also TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. That's more than half the cost of a decent used lift. I know Race Ramps is the best in the business, and they put alot of R&D behind this stuff, but I just can't consider that a good value. Especially since each side weighs 175 lbs. Build a similar system out of solid wood and it wouldn't be a huge weight penalty.

Bad form, Race Ramps. Very bad form.

4 pieces of 6x6 8' PT post. Two to a side, build (or carve in a small ramp). $80 at Home Creepo

Boom. There you have it. You could even coat it with non-slip for pretty cheap.

I'd like to, but in Florida it quickly becomes a swamp/gator home/ant hill. The only safe place to work on a car in this environment is on an anti grav pad so that the fire ants don't try to carry you away.

Crackalicious! You can buy a brand new two-post lift for LESS.

Wow. I was way off. Last time I looked at lifts (to fuel my dreams), I remembered them being around $5k.

Granted, it's prolly a Chinese lift but still. I'm sure they have to pass some kind of safety certification to even be sold here so ...

I like these . It's pretty rare I need to work on the back and front of the car at the same time. Provides plenty of room to 'creep' under the LS (which is low ) for an oil change.

Yes... Surely.
