I looked at those, and dismissed them for a number
of reasons.
What do you do with it when you're not using it?
Takes up a lot of valuable floor space.
It's good for tires, brakes, etc. But it really
limits access to the middle of the car - transmission,
oil pan, etc.
I purchased a Kwik Lift. Kind of like giant car
ramps. I reall like it. Mostly I use it to work on my
Cobra. But have also used it for my wife's COugar and
my mom's Subaru
Easy to get under the middle of the car for
whatever work needs to be done. Not so high that
things are out of reach. Suspension work is very easy
using a bottle jack and jack stands.
It gets in the way if I need pull the engine. But
it takes about 20 minutes to take it apart and get it
out of the garage. About 30 minutes to put it back
together.
I leave it in place and just park on it.
