Can I get a lift? - Page 3 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

How well does the rolling jack work

I really like having the jack...very stable way of lifting car and easy to use>>

Lift also comes standard with a jack tray so you can us bottle jacks or air bag lift jacks.
Comes with extenders so you can use on higher sitting cars or trucks

The one I have is rated at 3500 lbs and ran $550

I have a "Kwiklift" and it raises the car about 30" off the floor. Website is www.kwiklift.com. Check them out.

Here is the ZR-1 in the '4' corvette garage..

( too bad the white/black one is sold and gone

OK

I am convinced bobbyhi and Jeff. Thanks for the photos also. That kwiklift appears to provide complete access under the car and provides plenty overhead clearance to maneuver with tools in hand

Some good looking single pole lifts can be seen the over in the Corvette Babes section.

I don't like the kiwilift If I get one I want it to be a duel purpose lift, I like the idea of a 4 poster being able to work on the car and use it as storage.

I have more than one car I was jut wondering if its really that dificult to use it for maintenance or is it something Id get over and be able to work around things and it far outwieghts the alternitive of laying on a creaper under jackstands

im getting old

I bought my four post for storage, needed to fit four cars in three stalls.

After having it Ive pulled the trans out of the Z , swapped ehaust did brake jobs . I dont believe I went so long sitting on the floor . No doubt about it you can work under the car with plenty of room. The jack listed above is a must have!

I have one and it works great for my use. You can also get center bridges for it which gives you more lift options.

The center bridge is a Great Idea

5K deluxe package Kwiklift would cost me $1499.
with Total of $1731 after shipping.

But can be used for all vehicles. I do not have overhead room for double decked vehicles anyway

If a center lift gets it high enough, I can just park my Raptors under the Zr1
