I considered one of those when I was looking for a small lift for my car. The thing I didn't like was having all the lift's mechanisms in the way under the car. It will lift higher than my Quickjack maybe, but what' the point? I only need a 2 foot lift to work under the car or on the wheels/brakes. Take a look at this setup.... I use small pinchweld pucks to protect the car. Pretty damn stable;
