Default Kwik Lift?

Has anyone used this lift and is there enough room to work under your C5 vette?

I have one and it suits my needs just fine. On a creeper, you have plenty of room to work under the car.

I've got one too.

Works great when you don't have 15 foot ceilings.

I got the "Kit" they sell with the ramps, and 1 centerlift bridge, and added the oil container.

I would recommend getting a second centerlift if you think you will ever want to remove the tires, I need to get one, It would be nice to remove all 4 wheels at once for cleaning, or to have new tires mounted on the wheels.

I met Danny, the owner of Kwiklift at a GoodGuys car show here in California. He's a great guy, and even called me out of the blue about 2 weeks after I got my lift to make sure I was happy with it and to see if I had any questions or concerns. That's great customer service in my book.

If you're low on headroom in your garage, it's great.

So, my recommendations are as follows:

1. Get a second centerlift bridge if you think you might ever need it.
2. Make sure you have a jack that will reach a full 19 inches of lift to raise the rear. I have a craftsman low profile aluminum racing jack I was trying to use, it only got to 18.5 inches, just shy of what's needed so I was having to use a 2x4 on the jack pad.... Not the safest.
