Dan693 510 #1 Posted February 13, 2017 Getting ready to start my LR resto and thought it would be nice to have a way to lift the wheels off of the ground. After thinking about several ideas like lift tables, hoists, etc I decided to keep it simple (and cheap). I had an extra 2x6 from a job and a piece of black pipe. This is what I came up with.......raises either end up 4 inches with a push of the handle and works great. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
