Greetings Earthlings:

I have the Ranger Quick Jack 5000 and am very pleased with it now that I've played with it enough to properly position the lifts under the frame rails. According to Reg, the outer frame rails are sufficiently strong to support the car and give quite a bit more working room underneath the central undersides of the car. I was able to change out my T5 trans for a TKO 600 while using the lift (along with a cheap scissors transmission jack from Harbor Freight) so there is pretty good room under there when all the way up.

There are compromises to be sure. A two-post lift would be ideal for the ease of accessing everything. But the bang for the buck is pretty good with the quick jack.

My $0.005 (inflation).
