<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">thanks to all</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">So my thoughts are generated by my now needed to have a partial replacement of my right knee and I can't get it done until summer. I am hurting everytime I get down and place jack stands. I am still chasing oil leaks and really need a hoist to check it out. Plus I am 6'3" and it just easier to work on when its up off the ground. I also need to install my trafficator, horns, front air shield and grill, plus the rest of my interior. My Healey is the only car to park in the garage. so up on the lift instead of the ground is fine. I like the kwik-lift and home made alternative. I also like this unit <a href="http://www.quickjack.com/products/quickjack-accessories_quickjack-portable-car-lifting-system---3,500-pound-capacity.html">http://www.quickjack.com/products/quickjack-accessories_quickjack-portable-car-lifting-system---3,500-pound-capacity.html</a>.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"> So between arthritis in bot ankles an dboth knees and soon to partial knee replacements, a lift seems to make sense.

<div><font size="4">The lift appears to be very pricey, especially since you have
to supply your own drill. Seriously, a two post lift is easier to use once its
been installed, it has its own power pack and it will go high enough so that you
can walk under it. It will also accommodate various widths without having to buy
extra hardware. I currently don’t have a lift but if I were to get one, it’d be
the 2 post design.</font></div>
