    Default Looking to borrow or buy cheap lift table.

    Just wondering if anybody has a lift table I can borrow or buy cheap as I'm retro fitting my mustang with IRS and the IRS is heavy I'm trying to avoid dropping it on my head. Jacks are just awkward as the pads are small to get a good lift it. It weighs around 400 pounds. Thanks.

    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

    Exactly I was hoping to borrow one as I have no use for after I get the rear end swap done.

    Two floor jacks might work. One under each lower control arm. I have one if you have another. You're welcome to borrow mine if you need it.

    Also, I've had good luck spanning awkward stuff like this with lumber (2x6's or whatever) and then jack up under the lumber at the balance point.

    That gets me thinking put plywood under it and maybe 2xs to keep from moving then use two jacks under it. Guess we will see.
