pflaming Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Can this be for real? Must be, what is missing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithb7 Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Perform s Google search. Do a little research. You'll likely find a scam. Send them payment, you never see it, or hear from them again. Additionally, would you put your life on the line working under a $51 car lift like this?

kencombs Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Here is the real ad on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/XK-USA-L1000-000LBS-Warranty/dp/B073GQGR9Y Don't know where your link is but probably a scammer copied info from there.

Our sales taxes are going to end up as much as the item pretty soon because of the current situation going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted May 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Re: lifts, were I younger and would keep wrenching, the first tool I would buy is a lift. If it would not fit in my garage or shop, I would find a place outside some where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertKB Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) I’m a reasonably fit 71 but the older I get the more I would like a lift. Probably started about 4 years ago when I replaced all the steel brake lines on my ‘48 Dodge. Bought a 25’ roll of brake line and a double flare tool kit. Between going under the car to remove old, measure, check for fit, install, and get the one tool I really needed but forgot, I must have crawled under that car, on jack stands, at least 200 times. No exaggeration. I don’t have the height in my garage for a lift and no room for an addition. I had to replace a clutch last year. If I was younger, I would have crawled under and done it myself. Instead, I had my trusty mechanic do it. He has a lift and I have the money. ? Edited May 30, 2020 by RobertKB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linus6948 Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 My lift is the best 400 bucks I`ve ever spent, I would be dead in the water without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooljunkie Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 7 or 8 years for my drive on lift. it has been my best investement to date. Started working out of my garage 6-1/2 years ago so it has paid for itself time and time again. i put collar ties in my rafters and built a very solid boxed in area above my lift. Having lift in shop during the process gave me the perfect work platform. Full size van on my hoist right now,i can work under it without issue.

linus6948 Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 This lift once was in a shop on a steel plate floor, they used a torch to burn it free and in doing so left part of the floor plate still welded to each of the lift`s two posts. I chose to leave the extra steel in place as it gives a larger "footprint" to each post. The posts each have four very large Thunder-Bolts anchoring them to a concrete pad that was designed and poured to accept a two post lift.

Plymouthy Adams Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) thanks....was hard to see but I saw that plate in place...does provide added displacement....my 4 post lift that is going in IF my building ever gets here....they have way more bolts than your two post....maybe bordering on overkill...

Tooljunkie Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 My 4 post is free standing.no bolts holding it to floor. And a wheel kit to move it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 my original 4 poster is that style...the newer one is an open front alignment lift, much heavier build and you do wish these to be bolted for to retain their leveling adjustments. There are approximately 10 adjustment points that come to mind immediately for leveling...allows leveling to the floor and then adjustments for the ramps to set level after that and the open arms are adjustable. I have had my original lift for many years and have never moved it about even though I have the roller kit included also, most folks I know have never moved their lift after setup unless they were drunk....
