WTB KwikLift

I'm looking for a KwikLift for my garage and was wondering if anyone in the PNW (WA, OR, or ID) might have one for sale or would know anyone that might have one for sale.

Send me a PM if anyone has info/leads. TIA

Got one but not selling it....yet. Good luck with the search. Have you tried the For Sale section yet?

Sorry for hijacking the thread... just thinkg of it as a TTT ;-)

Is it easy to change wheels with a kwiklift? Or do you have to lift then jack, making it not worth it?

One of the options on a KwikLift is a sliding "bridge" that fits between the two ramps. It's strong enough so that a single bottle jack can be placed on it to lift the entire front or rear end at a time. Once you lift the car, you place a couple of jackstands under the car, remove the wheel(s) and drop it back down.

That's great for doing brakes or suspension work, but if you are simply swapping out wheels or removing them for cleaning, it would be just as easy to use a floor jack for quick jobs.

All correct. Although I have never used the "bridge" with mine. Quicker and easier to use a floor jack like you said for swapping wheels or doing brake jobs.
