Re: Vexine: 1992 SVX

I've seen solid 2 post, 4 point 3ton capacity lifts for around $1k+freight shippings. With a 5 year warranty as well.
I wouldn't trust putting a full size truck on there, but for cars it would be just fine.

Re: Vexine: 1992 SVX

Correction it was Norther Equipment (formerly Northern Hydraulic) that had the lifts not Harbor Freight .
Cousin bought one and uses it to double his garage size 2011 Vet goes up and restored 1964 Chevy SS goes under

.
you could put the lift spacers on top of the strut that are sold at many tire shops. i wouldn't recommend it because it will change the alignment and handling quite a bit but would be cheap/easy to do. i have seen foresters lifted this way.

Re: Vaxine: 1992 SVX

not so good in parking lots.

did good on the road, tires slipped alittle and gripped alittle, rear had to kick in and she took off like a charm up the hills.

i wont be driving her much for awhile, she needs tires i have 1 mismatched just to pass inspection.

i am driving my xt6 threw the snow, as much as i didnt want to i have no choice so i can get to work and get errins done. he has 4 new winterforce tires on so i know he wont have trouble getting threw snow, not once he has slipped.
