Car lifts for the garage
I'm looking for some info/input on a garage air/hydraulic lift system for my car. My ceiling is only 8' so I'm only looking to get the cars 2'-4' off the ground to work under.
Is there such a thing for home garage?
Laying under the jacks is getting too be too much for the back.
Any links would be much thanks.

Is there a low lift on the market where you can store a car another car, not just work on it??? I need to get my new Vette either over or under my Cobra, or have problem with the wife about my car count!!!

I just bought a Bendpac LR-60p its a well made lift. Just got it set up today. It doesn't take up any space the vette just drives over it. Won't be able to use it till tuesday,will let you know how I like it.

There was a real nice setup here that was really affordable. It was 9000lbs and like $1500. I got the other model because I have unlimited ceiling height, but I'll try and find the link and pass it on.

if you are handy with building. a friend of mine has a 4 post drive on ramp lift in a small garage,he had to do some modifying but he drives one on the ramps then raises it so he can drive his other vette underneath
