It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

That looks like a great freaking tool. I've seen trans jacks, but not that one.

First time around i bought one for around $150 with 4 wheels and a hydraulic pump. It worked but it was a hassle moving it around. This thing rolls so easy and is nice and compact. Dont forget to google a 20% HF coupon if you buy it.

I bought one of those to do my T56 swap. Worth every penny. Also works great when you need to drop a rear end.

While i would normally suggest you list which one you are interested in, i took a quick look.
Not sure any of them are worth 5 grand.
Did you consider a quickjack? Like a 1/3 of the price.

Do you have a pic or part number for this? Link didn’t work for me for some reason.

Actually no, I was looking at 2 post lifts first and they are simply to big. That's how I ended up on this one. I need to really get as far under it as I can. 24" vs 46" is a big difference for me... I agree though, not liking the price.. Do you have one?

No, I have a bendpak HD7p 4 post with slide jack. But my ceiling is 11ft.
Most of those mid rise look like fancy quickjacks. If you were a professional, I'd say spend the money, but if not I just can't see it.
