CJ Autos Mini Tilting Car Lift


Recommended Posts

  • 1 year later...

I have a cj auto tilting lift that worked fine with my aborted tr6 project. 

I can't get it to fit under the 3. The pads are either too far apart (with smaller middle section fitted) or fall within the inside of the chassis rails (no middle section).

@Hamish how do you get your one lined up? Thanks

Hi

it only just fits to be honest. With the flat pads slid innermost  but

it was stable enough to do my front suspension at that time. 
the tilt was extreme enough for the steering box oil to come out of the lower tube section.

Thanks. I'm thinking that cutting 15cm or so out of the middle sections should allow the pads to go in the right place.

Yes I considered doing that.

but to be honest I use a jack and axle stands more. 
 

it would be better if it could stay down and drive over it.

i only have a single garage and It’s a challenge to slide it under

Single garage here too. I have to jack up the front to slide it under. I figure it's a shame to have it and not use it

I know what you mean. My drill is only just powerful enough but helps if I wind it up and take a bit of weight off the springs. It pushes it up fine after that. 
 

I suppose the thinner bar between the lift gearboxes is cutable ?

It's alive!!! A few worrying creaks and lots of groaning but pads are in the right place and I could easily tilt the car from one end to the other. 

I figure if the chassis can't handle this then it won't handle being driven :blink:

I took 12cm off each of the middle sections

And I can leave it flat if I park carefully! Woohoo!
