It happens. I knew a guy who smoked 2 packs a day since a teenager. Lived to be 90; never had a lung problem.My dealer has been servicing my Mustangs since 2007 with zero problems.
Good choice. Temporarily out of stock. They run that price often.
I tried that lift once and found it to be a PITA. The only access was from either end of the car. On jack stands you have access from the sides as well.
Definitely need a good creeper. You can get in from the sides but just in front of front wheels or behind back wheels, so more travel time on the creeper for central work.I tried that lift once and found it to be a PITA.

At one point years ago, there was a chain of locations that would rent lift space. They also had the major tools many folks couldn't afford and only needed once. There was a tech there who could provide advice and some coaching. One was slated for here, but never opened. I suspect the insurance costs were pretty steep.I wish I can dyi. However I dont have a hoist. Are there places I can go to hoist for a few and allow me to work on it? One would think the dealer would do a nice job without causing a problem?
ALL ramps make oil changes much easier compared to a Quickjack or jack and stands. Takes seconds to drive it up ramps. Easy to get to filter and drain even at ramp height. Quickjack for when you need more height or access to more things or need to remove wheels.Race Ramps make oil changes MUCH easier.
I have one of these. Haven't used it a lot, but it works as advertised and lifted my '65 Mustang just fine. I also have a grease pit and between the two I've got most of the benefits of a 'real' lift.
Yeah, it's mostly useful if you need to get all four wheels off the ground, like for rotations or pad changes, etc.I used to do all my oil changes, but my local dealer does an oil change in 1/2 hr with full synthetic Motorcraft and filter for $40. I can't even buy the stuff for that price.
Still do them on the F250. That would cost $125 with just Rotella T4. The "Diesel Mechanic" labor rate is too damn high.

Just don't use cinder blocks; I've heard of them crumbling (exploding).Never been comfortable getting under a car supported by jack stands. I use these to get under all our rides:
I can remove the ramps and just use the pedestals.
