Gotcha, I think that all of the greg smith lifts are a symetric lift which everyone is telling me gives you less room to open the doors. How is your lift for opening the doors on the F-bodies or mustangs? Can you work in the floor of the car?

Mohawk, if you are going to use it a lot. Be sure to get some good jack stands with it also. You can never be to safe. I bought one years ago for my shop that has seen lots of use. Its still in good condition, have had offers (3k) to buy it since I am no longer a full time mechanic, but since I still play with a few cars I am not letting it go.
