Re: kwiklift? (CruisinCO)
I've been using one for the past 3 years and like it. It's a bit costly but I've seen used ones for $700. I made up blocks so I can remove the front or rear suspsnsions,differential, eng & tranny,just about evrything except pulling the body. If you're going to be doing a lot of work it's worth it.

Had my kwiklift for about 4 years - cound NOT live without it !!!
Easy to move around, I layit flat quite often just to park on.
Nicely built.
Do a search ( if its working ) you will find many, many happy kwiklift owners here on the forum.
I'm lucky, I happen to live near their company, here in Oklahoma

Re: kwiklift? (Master Ho)
I too love it. I have the casters as well and they work great. I am no engineer, but the system looks like it will last forever and is overbuilt for safety. At poionts I have had the car lifted up for months at a time, so it appears to be plenty strong for the task. Lake Gary gtr1999, I have blocks for pulling the wheels and suspension.

I'm with you.
Been there - done that on the wooden ramps....no thanks
I feel so much better laying under cars on the kwiklift.
The cost of the kwiklift has been a very small amount of money, considering all the ways that I have put it to use !!!

Re: kwiklift? (John65,80)
I keep the back lowered (when not using it for a body dolly) and the front stays up. When I come home I just open the garage and drive right up it and leave it backed on the ramps at an angle.
