kwiklifts
Has anyone had any experience with kwik lifts? Looks like a great product for home use. Just wonder how practical? About ready to pull the trigger on this, would like any and all opinions. And, if you do have one, what all do you do with it and is it worth the money? Thanks tc

I have had my kwiklift for a couple of years, I have changed many exhausts, installed my long tube headers, replaced starters, changed oil.......etc. For my needs it made the most sense, sure it would of been nice to have a full size lift but that was not an option for me.

I love it .. didnt have room for a 4 post. If you can get a 4 post in , go for that,, but if you cant ,, get a kwik lift..
I park on mine , the only pain is jacking up an down when I park. But I only drive th car on weekends, so it aint a big deal.
if you own a vette and work on it, you need a lift

With all of the above. Except I park on it at an angle. When I want to work on it I just jack it up and go to it.

Quick question, all you guy's with the kwiklift's I know it gets the car up 20" at the wheel, but will that be enough hight to install a set of Dynatech headers I know the passenger side goes in from the top but what about the driver's side.

W/o a doubt I could have installed my LGs with my Kwiklift. Only reason I didn't is I installed them at a friend's dyno shop to do before/after runs, so I used his lift there.
