I believe your garage lift is the same manufacturer as mine, but a slightly different model! View attachment 80097

Yes sir! You got to do with what you have to do it with lol.. With those big 12 Ton jack stands I feel confident it wont squish me like a bug!

I also noticed you used the Hoist to lift the back end up?

I did use the hoist. On the front I used some lifting links and straps off the door hinge bolts. After the front 4x4 was set I tempted fate and pivoted the back half of the car by lifting it from the trunk striker.

Back at it that. Still degreasing the under carriage... My mom came to visit for a few weeks so spend time with her instead of the car.. But I was itching to get back at it.

I believe it. I had a rear main leak...the oil was hitting the flexplate and was helping to spray the undercarriage. At least it was protected from rust :).
