Since I don't have enough headroom for a lift, I want to install four hydraulic jacks in my garage floor which would come up under my subframe connectors and raise the car 24" or so. Does anyone know of a system like this that is comercially available? If not, I'll have to make it myself.
Hydaraulic jacks in the floor?

How about a Scissor Lift?

The problem with that is it blocks off access under the car. I want something that lifts where you would put 4 jack stands.
then you would have to park your car in the exact spot each time, and it would only work on your car.
:banana: do it indy car style and mount up 4 air cylinders under the car, pull in garage and insert an air hose and up goes the car. :banana:
These would be sweet!
Hey now. That's a good idea!RacerDan said:
I looked into it. The air cylinders needed are too big. I need something hydraulic.
Hate to say this but TECHNICIALLY it would be illegal in cali.
Even notice how you never see a dyno or lift that is subground mounted in Cali where its common elsewhere.
Its illegal to bury any hydrolics in Cali
Add that to the list of cali tardness

I know for a fact as it changed like 4 years ago and alot of shops had to change their setups..
Like I said notice how dynos are always on a lift here and in the floor everywhere else.

Yes it would. You would just have to do a survey. Lots of shops have them.
Go the opposite direction and have a pit installed.
i have been to two dyno's in socal and both are in ground
as long as its triple sumped its fine. my dream garage has a lift AND a pit.
