I have two 4 post Bend Pac lifts a HD 9 & a HD 12 and they work good for me. The ramps are adjustable so that you can move them where you can do whatever you want. If I want to raise the wheels off the ramps , I position them so I can use jack stands to support the axle. My HD12 extra wide and long WB has the extra benefit that the right side ramp is not bolted in place so it is fast and easy to move. This lift is bolted down in a fixed position, the HD 9 is movable and the ramps are bolted for strength. Heck I even change my lawn mower oil on it. They make trolley jacks to lift front and/or rear but they are a bit pricey so far I have put off buying them. Another advantage over a scissor jack is that you can double stack vehicles, which I often do for storage. Have had them for 12 years and no regrets, but I caution you will become a very popular with your car buddies.
