Yep I've been looking at those two. Although it would be really hard to work underneath the middle of the car with one of those versus the other style. Sitting here thinking it might be easier to do all of this on the ground instead of using the hoist. Really I just have to get those back tires 9 in off the ground and then lower the cradle down. The hoist is actually in the way and everything is taller by probably 5 in. I will definitely keep playing with it and have a system to get those rear tires off.The last shop I worked at had lower ceilings. We used the low rise scissor lifts. Been thinking about getting one for home.

Just looked at the specs and lift height is 47". Much better than the two footers. For sure need to look into one of these. Almost a 1000 lbs so not light to try move around. 4.7" lowered height which is pretty low. Figure hit the high setting on the bags and the truck should clear. I can see one of these in the future.The last shop I worked at had lower ceilings. We used the low rise scissor lifts. Been thinking about getting one for home.

Good for burn outs...Also probably put a new set of tires on at that point. Although one of the tires I have now has a 2021 date code. The other one is 2008 so no way on the dyno.
