[was Re: Mechanics] Ramps versus jacks.

[Larry" <rocco16v@netzero.com (Larry)]

You got it! You got it!
 What I am trying to design now are some small (8" x 8"?), low (two inches
high max) lifts, one for each tire, that the car can roll up on. These
individual lifts would then raise up, lifting the car about 10 inches.  This
would leave maximum room to work under the car.  So far the mechanics of
doing this would be out of the question, unless I could sink some hydraulic
cylinders into my driveway.  But, then, that wouldn't be cheap either.....
