6.25" The lift arm pad at full low 5.75" shwoo.... That's tight clearance for a lift. I don't think I'll do the Schmiddy lower front drop.

If anyone cares the Prokits are 6.5" rear hieght from ground and 6.25" front. So they look lower in the rear but infact set lower in the front.
So do you think I'll fit?



That's my skirt clearance behind my front tire now. Oh well hahaha.

Yeah, yeah, I know it's dirty...drove through a couple puddles since the last wash.

Well, we could get the car to drive up onto four squares of wood--raising the height vs. the lift. Then it would fit--this was going to be my solution What is the stock key 3-4" ?

For all others I hope to get my car on the lift this weekend and install my V6 front sway bar that's been in my garage for over a year now :P I'll take pics then and post them up.

Believe it or not, this is a six car garage 3wide x 2 deep.
The lift takes up 2 of the spots. Pardon the mess--the garage isn't done yet--drywall on the walls yet, lots of lights going on the ceiling, and lots of air jacks and outlets going to hang from the roof as well. No, my dad and I aren't mechanics--I just have issues

The part of the floor holding the lift was poured special two years ago when the garage was being framed. It's 5.5" thick 3000psi concrete. This is required for a lift of this size. The lift will hold the shown F350 with a full load of drywall in the bed--Oh Ya! Instead of a turbo kit for my Accord, I convinced my dad to build a 6 car garage on his house when he was remodeling it -- in the deal I would provide the lift. Thanks Dad! :thumbup: And Thanks to my wife for letting me use this years tax return to fund Garage-mahal stage 1.01
