Any EZCARLIFT updates?
Curious if those who have one of the EZCARLIFT can give an update as to how its as worked out for you?
I'm considering buying one along with a set of low vehicle ramps or a set of floor jack assist Race Ramps.
My C5 is lowered slightly but the height of the EXCARLIFT of 4 inches is not low enough with my hockey pucks.
Anyone?
Thanks,

The jack assist ramps like Trak-Jax probably won't work for your application since they are only about 30" long and you would need something about 10' long since it would have to be continuous along side of the EZCARLIFT.
Race Ramps does have a custom product that will work. Price is about $550.

I've had my EZCarLift for about a year now. I'm very happy with it. I use it on my '11 GS and my wife's '08 Passat. The lift does just what I want it to and is better for me than messing with jack stands. I also like the fact that the lift doesn't take much space in the garage when not in use. Since it is so easy to carry I have actually taken it to friends houses when I help them work on their cars.
For your lowered car you might just want to pick up a piece of 2x8 or 2x12 lumber and drive your car onto the boards so you can get the lift underneath. I think with only a 4" clearance you'd be hard pressed to get the lift under the car with pucks in place.

I have also had my EZcarlift for a year. It is well made, and is very easy to store. Only takes a couple of minutes to put back together and use.
The owner stands behind his product, and is very responsive to e-mails and phone calls.
IMHO, the price is a little steep, but worth every penny if you plan on using the lift often, along with the ability to store in a garage with limited space.

You all still like your EZ Lift? I think I am going to order one.
PS, if I could get a 4 post to fit, I would do that, but I won't be able to get one to fit in my 17 ft deep garage with stairs protruding in. Believe me, I have measure every which way to make a 4 post lift work.

I've only used mine a couple of times since buying it. When I bought a 3/8" drill motor with what I thought was enough amps I later learned the RPM range was wrong. No problem, I just pulled out my 1/2" drill to get the car raised. The 1/2" runs slower but works fine.
The part I really like is when I'm done the lift stores in a closet.
Nice trick about jacking the front of the car up before sliding the lift under.

Questions for those who have one of these....
1) I see in the video a guy rolling around under the car on a creeper without hesitation. Is the construction of the device so fool-proof that there is no possibility of it folding up while you're under it?
2) Since the lift has two sides, do you have to use the dril to raise each side separately? or is there something in the cross members that allow both side to go up simultaniously?
Thanks
