Have you looked at the lifts that Greg Smith Equipment sells? I've seen the lifts in person and look decent for the price. Check them out http://www.gregsmithequipment.com/

She has a sister, but I got the better one......Just started looking at lifts, don't want to buy something, an kick my butt for later. Will be lifting a 90 coupe, 86 vert, an Jeep grand Cherokee for oil changes. Should just put 2nd story on shop, with game room on one side....Don't want to push my luck....lol

Just opened up old forums regarding lifts, Boy everybody has beat this to death. Got my work cut out for me. Lowered deck height is my concern...4 1/2" to 5" will be cutting it close, Don't want to leave rocker panels laying on approach ramp....

I have one as well. I got the larger one so my truck fits with the mirrors out. I do not think ground clearance would be a problem. My stock cars don't even come close anywhere.
