Garage Scissor Lifts

[Rust_Belt_Pete]

Hey folks Between having to swap winter tires on my car and my wifes and all the maintenance stuff
I am thinking of getting a scissor lift, they look to be about 1800$ USD with all said and done.
I was looking at this one: http://www.bestbuyautoequipment.com/auto...CFUKRHwodBKUDmw

I figured It would give me enough clearance for pretty much anything I need minus maybe messing with the exhaust system. I have complete access to the bottom of the engine bay and now tire rotations are a snap.

Thoughts and reccomendations?

That is a good price. I got mine from here about 6 years ago for $1,200 delivered. They have gone up some since then. I love it, makes rotating tires and any other suspension work a breeze.

Ah thanks, the more I think about the scissor lift the more it makes sense.
Never felt safe with jack stands and it is always a pain in the butt juggling jack stands, jacks and managing jacking points.

I have been considering one of these a jack and jackstand all in one.

Those look nice but you need to get the lift/jack point up 11" to start!

There is also a smaller lighter duty version but for my Montero I am good and want both the extra lift capacity and height.
