I'd sure like to find a couple of those big air bumper jacks cheap
, 'course chances of that are somewhere between slim and none. Those puppies go for some serious cash, but you could lift a loaded semi trailer from the ICC bar with one of those things.
THose mid rise lifts like you got are great for cars. You can do most everything on them, especially if it's a front wheel drive, even rear wheel drive you can do most things if you balance it right. It'll get it up high enough to where you can lay on the creeper comfortably without being cramped up, you can raise it up and down easily and use the lowest notch on the safety to reach without having to bend over so much, and suspension and brake stuff alll done confortably from a chair . You'll love it.
It sucks getting old. Last year or so, I had to finally listen to my wife and send one of my cars out to get a heater blower put in it( talk about swallowing yur pride, having to send out one of teh cars you used to specialize in). One job, I just flat couldnt' do anymore crawling around under a dash for a day and a half. Funny thing was when I went to go take it to one of my old friend's shops, turned out they were all in the same boat and they had all stopped doing that job as well to leave it to the young guys
. Finally went to one who had some young fellas working for him and it cost me $800 in labour , not unreasonable for that job, but whew, I don't know how folks can afford to pay someone to keep a vehicle on the road if they don't fix it themself. ( at least the young fella did a great job, he was nervous as heck, I guess the boss told him whose car he was working on
Were gonna pick it up tomorrow.
