Scissors Lift
Guys, I needed a way to get my car up in the air to work on exhaust, tires, brakes, all the stuff that's tough to get to with the car on the ground; I was also tired of the inconvenience of taking the car to a local shop when I needed something under the car serviced. Enter Greg Smith Equipment and the Atlas LR-O6P Scissors Lift:

I never thought I could afford a lift for my shop until I ran across this. Thought it would be good to share. |

If you mean "stay level", yeah, they're called jack stands ; )
Seriously, it comes with four solid rubber blocks that go between the lift points and the stand. I used the pinch welds in front of the rear wheel wells and under the front door sills. The car is well balanced there, but I wouldn't start any serious pushing or pulling much less crawl under it until I had jack stands under the corners of the lift. |
