      As long as you don't need to pull a wheel. It would make more sense to have a frame rail version with a couple of different pedestal attachments similar to what an actual lift uses.

        These would work fine for a car that has jacking pads like my bimmers have had, but most cars don't have a spot lower than the body seam to jack by.

            Maybe I'm missing it... but how much?

            The site seems to be missing that key information.

                  I really could use these. Going to install subframe connectors soon. Let us know.

                    A bit pricey, but not horrible. From the jalopnik article...

                    "Pricing and ordering information oddly isn't available on their website, but through the power of Google, I found a few internet forums where the price is revealed to be $260 shipped per pair, or $520 shipped for a set of four. They're not the cheapest tools to buy, but when thousands of pounds are literally suspended inches above your head, it's best not to cheap out."

                      A company called Kwiklift out of OK made some thing similar to what you describe. Drive up on it use floor jack to pop it up and then use bottle jacks if you need to raise a bit more to pull a wheel

                      The Kwik-Lift Is A Low-Rise Vehicle Lift Perfect For Home Garages, Detail Shops, and Restoration Shops. Made From US Steel, The Kwik-Lift Is Safe, Easy To Use, and Lasts A Lifetime. Check it out!

                        Why not just use wood. I agree the tool is cool but not 550.00 of cool.

                        Unless it had super fine adj to level a chassis on a unlevel surface.

                          I was going to build 4 platforms of wood. Looks like I still am. Not going to spend that much.

                              So If I welded up a bunch of these, there's a market for them ? Hell, I have enough drops right now to build a few sets.
                              Was thinking of building something like this just this week. I'm finishing the welds on the inside of my mini tubs, sucks crawling up in there. My back is killing me
