Haven't seen anyone with it, but I'd love to hear from anyone who has, also. After just dropping my '07, and with the clearance issues that come with the Cervini's kit on the '05, if they work well, I'd be very interested.

don't know how much I would trust that thing. Looks like it would be some what unstable. Probably just me. I made a couple of ramps by stacking 2x4 on top of each other, that gives me enough lift to get the floor jack under my car.

I've been putting 1ft lenths of 2x10 in front of all 4 tires and driving up which is giving me enough clearance, but it's still a PITA. I'm seriously considering this if it lifts high enough. Either way, it'll live it high enough to get a rear jack under it easily.

I agree, and there's a few low profile floor jacks available. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...0070515x00001c

And you can change your tires as well.

Low profile is ok to get under the car, but what I find difficult is moving the handle enough to actually jack up the car. I have two floor jacks now and I end up lifting both sides of the car at the factory jack locations. I came across that tire jack when searching around for portable lifts and thought it might be slick to have a pair of those for getting the car up on jack stands.

True , I got two jacks that I can get under the car , but I can't move the handle enough to jack it up. We need to find a jack that is long enough so that the handle is still outside the car ...
