These might work...

By the way, these are the ones I went with. I have to slide them under the plastic kickplate and over the pinch weld before extending the lift arms. This actually makes it easier to set the lift arms. Also, the rails make for a much for secure mount frame to car. It's virtually impossible for the car to "slip" off the lift.

Great looking install. Finished the Ford Racing springs on stands today!! All you need is a cot and a fridge and you could live in the garage now.

I your car lowered? I know at my local shop they need to roll my car up on wood blocks to get the arms under my car.

Yes, the car is lowered. In fact, it's a bit too low. I'm grinding a hole in my right side exhaust collector on the track and the front plastic air dam is worn down.

I don't need blocks to get the lift arms under. I have just enough room to get the lift arms under without the fat rubber pads. This was another advantage of going with the pinch weld adaptors.

I think I'll shoot a short video of what it takes to setup the lift and get the car on it.

How hard is it to get the car in there on that angle?

I had given up on finding a lift for my garage. Thank you very much for sharing this!

sweet.

How hard is it to get the car in there on that angle?

he probably has just one large garage door so it might not be too hard. i can get my car on that angle, but not with the posts there. i have two separate doors and my garage is only 20x20

Does that pump run off 110v or 220v? I am planning to put a lift in my barn, I was going to go with a bigger one, but the one you have may just work out.

It's kind of a sonofabitch. I don't have a wide garage door, two single car doors. I use a ground guide (wife) to help back it in without hitting anything. I can back it in a single action, it's just really close.

Simple 110 but can draw up to 20 amps so if you are getting close to max load (6000 lbs) I suppose you risk popping a 15 amp breaker. I'm just plugging it into an outlet in the garage. All my garage outlets are on the same 20 amp breaker.

Working on one. I've had the car on the lift the last few days as I finished swapping the rotors and pads. I should be able to get it posted this evening.
