Ditto -- I've been looking between the Kwiklift and Autolifters Tilt Lift [hell I'll admit it, I've been contemplating a smaller 4 post lift too] but haven't decided which of the two looks better.
I think that the biggest concern that I've heard with the Kwiklift[independent folk, not owners] is that you ultimately need to place yourself downhill of the vehicle to 'tilt' the ramps up or down. Yes, wheel chocks should significantly reduce the chance of the car rolling, but I'm paranoid.
The TiltLift though, looks like it's some freaky kind of acrobatics nightmare . . . although it *is* more adjustable [height], and *does* keep you from getting under the car to tilt the ramps up.

Sorry I couldn't be any help . . . but would definitely love to hear how the lift looks/works out when it arrives.

I know this post is old but, just wondered why you wanted information about this lift AFTER you bought it? Now how about that report.

Well i guess i'm a little tardy with my report. Actually I forgot all about it. The lift works perfect for me. I will post a pic of blocking off the lift instead of using jack stands when you have to pull the wheels. The only part I would change is the floor jack. Go with the electric.

I wanted to post a pic but can't find the insert pic button. Did something change or am I losing it?

I don't see an electric feature option. Maybe discontined?

Interested in seeing the pics also.

You can go to the Concours section over on the left side of your screen and post the picture through this section. Or if you can't get it to work, email me the pic or pics and I will gladly post for you.

Thanks, Perry

I went through the procedure up until I could not find the icon to insert a pic. I can't figure out what is different from the last time I posted pics.
