That's pretty cool. I don't see a price on the website though, maybe it's in one of the PDF catalogs?
------------------ 1988 Fiero Formula - White - Stock 2.8/Auto - 156,000 miles and counting 2008 Patriot - Black - 2.4/CVT/FDI - 110,000 miles and counting
http://ezcarlift.com/index.html Kinda expensive but it shows a FIERO up on the lift and is very stable. I've seen the ranger 3500 in use at a race track - had a mazda spec racer up in the air and the owner was leaning on the car with no fear of it falling .
It includes two hydraulic lifts, power unit, and remote. It also appears that this will not work with a Fiero, each lift measures 11.25 inches wide, but the maximum length is 50.5 inches. I think we need about 60 inches between the front and back sub-frames to lift the car safely. (I'm following the jacking points in the 1988 factory service manual.) Can anyone here who has lifted their car on a two post lift confirm that?
I'm also considering the EZcarlift, this lift has been mentioned in this forum before. The company has three pictures of a 1988 Fiero GT on their lift!
Yeah, it's pricy, but I'm 48 years old with a lower back issue and don't mind paying for something that's going to make it easier to work on this car without major modifications to my garage.
Edited because I can't count.

For that kind of money (+shipping) I would look on Craigs List for a good used 2 post lift. If you have a 6" floor in your garage that's ideal but if its 4" you can just have some heavy steel 4' L channel runners (that also use concrete anchors) welded to the posts. Just make sure that you have at least an 11" ceiling. If the ceiling is 8' then the hydraulic scissors lift is ideal.

UPDATE: My friend Henry just purchased the Quickjack 5000. They are made in China and made from low end common steel not high end hardened steel. You wouldn't catch me under these jacks anytime soon. Quickjack may be an American company but their products are 100% Chinese including the hydraulic lines and connectors. I call it the suicide jack!

Hi, I have an 87' GT and just purchased a QuickJack 7000SLX. Can someone tell me where the proper place to put the Quickjack(Lift points). Thank you-Rolf
