Now that looks convenient.

Pretty sweet but not cheap. Sure would be nice to have a set.

I still have two problems with that.
I only have a car port now with very little side access.
This makes it very hard to jack from the side and the jack points are too far in to access from the front or rear when the car is on the ground.
Also you still have to remove these and use stands to remove the wheels.

They wouldn't be that bad if I could add a ramp to initially get the front end up on them.
I have already solved the jacking point for the rear.

I think this one is better but about $1700.00

I prefer good ol' jackpoints. It allows you to use the pinch weld standard positions for lifting and stands in one fell swoop.

I was blessed in 2006 to buy a place with a 1000 ft insulated garage.

Then in 07 I ran into a deal on a 9,000 lb two post lift for $1200, local pickup, no shipping, no tax, no install cost except....

Big snow that winter so I rented a track hoe(not track ho....) and used it to clear the snow and put the lift up.

I have been injured a few times and twice told I was disabled but fought back and can do most thing but without the lift, progress would be far more painful and far slower.

If someday you get to a place where you can consider a full lift, get one, best tool I own out of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ worth of tools.

The thing about fwd cars specifically I've learned is that... If there are a total of 40 things/bolts to get to, you get 10 from the top, then 5 from the bottom, then 10 from the top, then 10 from the bottom, then 5 from the top IN THAT ORDER. So if you don't have a lift that can raise/lower a car easily and quickly, your best to find a happy medium of lift height, then use your space tire as a "step" lol. I actually mention using the spare as a "step" in my "how to remove your turbo" write up. With the cowl and heat shields off though, its a breeze. I almost did my entire turbo swap from the top a couple weeks ago, minus the oil return fitting and actually dropping the turbo out.

Cool idea though...

I use a little two step ladder quite often with my lift

I have emailed this MyLift guy 3 times with no response.
I guess he does not want to sell me any.
With this kind of customer service, I don't want to buy from him now either.
