Sorry for the delay in replying. I got my ATV jack at Costco for about $80. I have seen them offered at Harbor Freight too.

JTO - I have seen one at harbor freight but it only raised 16-inches. I'll have to see if Costco has them in my area that raise 36-inches.

I just purchased the ATV lift at Costco. Here are a few details on the lift;
Brand - Powerlift Hydraulics Weight capacity - 1500 lbs. Minimum height - 4.5 in. Max Height - 17.125 in. Overall length - 38 in. Overall width - 20 in. I'll be able to provide the effectiveness of this particular lift after this weekend when we drop the 930 engine. Dave 85 factory slantnose 78 RoW 911 SC (for sale)

Yes, the lift isn't what I said but more like 18". I forgot that I put 8" LVL blocks on the platform and found it worked well. I recently changed the way I drop the engine. Now, I jack the car just high enough to get the oil lines, clutch, etc detached. Then I use the ATV lift to support the engine and undo the four engine/tranny bolts. I lift the car with my jack at the tunnel with a 12"X12" piece of plywood to distribute the car's weight. Once the valence clears the FI, I roll the engine/tranny out and lower the car back down on the jack stands. I works really slick with less drama.
