I got the lift all set up a few weeks ago and recently made up some simple accessories to make day to day use easier.
First the jack tray. I may eventually get a rolling jack, but for now I will use this. I made it as wide as my jackstands and the center jack plate slides back and forth to wherever its needed.
Next the under runway tray. It slides fore and aft and is just a convienant place to put tools while working under a car. I keep a flashlight in there full time.
Third, the ramps. I usually want them down, but wanted a simple way to hold them up at times. Drilling only 2 holes in each ramp, a light spring, and a length of 1" angle came up with this. It works well, and the best part is as the lift reaches the ground, the ramps come up just a fraction and release the stays, automatically resetting them to hang down with the next up cycle.
I thought you all might like a look.
