Well, Ive been thinking about it for about a year or so and finally bit the bullet and turned loose of some $$ for a 4 post lift . While I was at it I got a bridge jack to go between the runways so I can get the wheels off of the ground.  It will be nice to get my daily driver out of the weather and not have to scrape ice this winter.
