Automotive Lifts Advice

[87sc302]

I have been looking at lifts for several years and I always talk myself out of getting one because of the ceiling restrictions. So the other day I found a scissors mid lift for sale used and it got me to thinking again. I know a two or 4 posts lifts are nice but I cannot use one without building a new garage so just need input on mid/low rise type lifts. One time I was looking at the Kwiklift ramps but just could not bring myself to buy one. Does anyone have a scissor type or experience, or recommendations?
Thanks

I dont have a lift, but my opnion on the scissor jacks are, you cant do any work under the vehicle, only if the work you need to do is up front or in the back. They block everything in the middle. So I guess if that's not a big deal, then get one. But if the only work you can do is in the front or back of that kind of lift, I can do that with a jack and some stands allot cheaper... Its not going to get the vehicle any higher than my jack....

True some of the sicissor lifts are very restrictive but some of the newer have extension arms like typical lifts and the mid lifts lift to around 4'. Not the best, but most of my time is wheels, tires ,brake s, oil changes, etc. Will not reolace the ramps / jack stands but would be alot easier on the old back.
