help with car lifts.
Has anyone seen the dollies for your car? It helps move the car around the garage without driving it. Well some time ago I saw dollies that you could drive onto and then with a foot pump raise the car up in order to get under it. Does anyone have this or know where I could find a set? If not does anyone have a solution to getting under the car when they have limited space to do so?
any help would be appreciated.

The dollies you're talking about are Gojaks:

They work great for moving vehicles around in a shop, etc, but they only lift the tires an inch or two off the ground -- just enough to move the car. Don't kow if there's something like this that lifts high enough to get under the car.

Gojacks are great! I had to get the 6000 series as the 5000 would not fit the 315's I have under the car. They also worked great for moving my suburban around, even though the suburban was a bit heavier than the rated capacity they lifted the truck with no problem. Takes just me to shove a 6700lb truck around with a bit of effort, moving the vette around was a piece of cake.

Just checked out kwiklift. Looks like my best alternative. I need to get to measuring and also look to see if I can find one on ebay. Thanks for the info.

With a little ingenuity and creativity (not bragging :rolleyes: ) I even got mine to be air/hydraulic activated so I don't have to manuallu jack it up and again, with a few supplemental pieces, I can raise the whole car high enough that I can easily and comfortably sit up under it.
If you have the height capaity and the $$$ four a four post lift, go for it, otherwise KWIKLIFT is the way to go
