bliss,

I recently went through a bit of a lift dilemma. There's a short 2 post lift that fits in a 8 ft ceiling (forgot the name) but I have a foundation crack running right through the middle of my garage floor. If I had it installed on either side there wouldn't be enough room for the Cobra, and I didn't want to repour.
I was then gonna go for the QwikLift, which I like a lot. I have also seen RedBarchetta's handmade lift in person (very cool).
But at this point I already had Race Ramps (the light weight foam ramps). So I bought an AC Hydraulic low profile floor jack from pelican parts. Then I bought 2 Race Ramp pedastals. I drive on to the 10" high ramps in front, park it, and lift the rear and put wheels on 12" pedastals. This give me PLENTY of room to get on the creeper and get to those hard to reach areas and clean away. Working on brakes would be a different story but you can't do that on a Qwiklift easily either. You would need the 'bridge' and you could accomplish the same with a jackstand.
Rame Ramps are certainly not the cheapest route BUT, I can literally pick these ramps and pedastals up with one finger and toss them in a truck or on top of my garage cabinets.
Talk about portable. Not a bad option.
I still envy the 2 post lifts but I just wanted to give you another option depending on your circumstances.
