Finished up my lift install last weekend, used the goat for my test mule before i gave the vette a ride. hoping this will make my cam install in a couple of weeks a little more manageable.

I need one of those, we are fixing to buy another house and that was my main request with my wife, either big high ceiling garage, Large Shop, or both. Definitely a tool we can all use.

With the combination of more manufacturers, lower new & used prices and more customers, lifts are definitely becoming defined as 'tools' rather than 'luxury' items. Congrats!

Congrats! You will love your lift. My wonderfull wife put our lift in about 10 years ago and it is the best money we have ever spent. At my age and with my back trouble i would have had to quit working on and building cars many years agowith out the lift! it will make your cam swap so much easier you won't ever want to work without a lift again!

Looks great! Which brand and where did you purchase? In the process of building a new house and garage is being built as we speak. Have taken care of the floor and will be looking to order one in about a month.

I picked mine up used from a friend. Direct lift is the brand. If this wouldn't have popped up I was going to order through best buy auto equipment. They have free shipping deals a lot of the time.

I am just curious why you need to lift your car to install a cam? Do you install it from the underside of the car?
