Re: Ranger Quick Jack? (portable hoist)
For reference, a 'small' truck like a new Colorado can max out at ~4750 lbs. That SL65 AMG I want is 4600. An older Cayenne Turbo is over 5200.
7000 lbs doesn't seem so silly now.

I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Did you say stealth? I thought you sold the stealth?
Re: Ranger Quick Jack? (portable hoist)
No. I only got it back together a couple weeks ago. Just in time for both my Audi and my truck to have significant problems. 
I'm going to formally list it for sale this weekend.

I'm going to buy the BLX5000 once the Audi is gone.

Re: Ranger Quick Jack? (portable hoist)
These would come in really handy, but alas, can't afford to do anything right now.

If you use discount code "auto" you save $100 :suspect2:

Re: Ranger Quick Jack? (portable hoist)
Let me know how you like them. Do they get the car high enough in the air to actually use a creeper?
Originally I was wanting some of the short 2 post lifts but Im not sure how thick the concrete is in my garage.

I think the lift height is 21 inches.
I'd like a proper lift, but I can't due to the layout of my garage.
Dunno if I'll get the car lifted up tonight, but I'm hoping to get it set up after work.

Shipping weight was 85 lbs for each lifting frame and 65 for the box with the pump and accessory hardware.
I went with the BL5000SLX because I don't foresee owning anything heavier than 5000 lbs. If I do end up with something bigger, I'll just lift it the old fashioned way.

Got through the assembly and bleeding tonight. Had some other stuff to do, so I didn't try to lift the car up. The leakless quick connects are trick as hell. There's only the faintest sheen of fluid on the face of the connector when you take them apart. This thing looks to be really well made. I think I'm going to like it.

Ranger makes good shit. I'm not surprised it's of decent quality.
I would consider this but I'm probably gonna concrete my driveway and I'm planning on putting a lift pad in at the same time
