I just made a ramp of some scrap wood.

It worked fine

Almost there.....

Good thing my measuring tape is accurate

Not much extra room here.

Lift height is still 49 inches with standard adapters.

95% done! Now I just need to cut out a grove for the hydrolic line and get a piece of sheet metal to stiffen the lid. Maybe I'll get one of those diamond metal plates instead?! That would look nice.

If I got one of those for my garage, would I have to start working on my own cars?
