Those hydraulic jacks are a 24" bottle with a 20" throw. I think when I got the spindles
mounted on the car they were around 26" high and it looks like I jacked the car
2 feet above that. They might lift the car enough with a single throw, otherwise
you'd have to fab up some brackets where you could lift the car, pin the car, reset the
jack, unpin the car, lift again, pin the car, etc. It was more than I wanted to plan
out and fuss with. The jacks I used work well with a minimum of fuss.
We have a Harbor Freight here in Abilene and I picked up a nice hydraulic engine lift over
there for $150.

couldn't even start to build one for that much. I was telling my son when we were
building the rotisserie that it's too bad HF doesn't sell one for a couple hundred bucks...
