I copied widebody911's shallow lift pit.
Before the lift I would take a header off to change the little 993 oil filter, now I can see it and change it without removing the header.
I was too tall for two post lift, still could not stand under it.
+ this lift disappears when not in use.

How do you get the lift pits? All new garage floor? Partial redo, or can it be "cut" some way?

I always wanted a full lift but want to stay mobile - so one day I'll get one of these. (CL search is ON!).

There is a good thread on it but basically you cut the perimeter of the concrete you want to remove. Then with your rented electric jack hammer bust out all of the concrete for the hole. Pour new reinforced concrete in the well.

JMO, but, it is a lot easier to build platforms
