I will shortly be embarking on R&R two fuel tanks to update the fuel lines and replace a busted black tank on my 23' Birchaven.

I will have access to a vehicle lift (currently being assembled in my back yard - Woo Hoo!) to get her up in the air to work on it and I think a transmission lift (New Tool!!!) would be just dandy for these tasks and saving my aching back.

I want something that goes low enough for easy lifting height to put 'stuff' onto and goes high enough to get to about 6 feet, with a load weight range 500 pounds or better.

Perusing the Interwebs there seem to be a plethora of uncommonly similar lifts in the roughly $200 range, the major variant being color: Red or Blue. Some claim to be 2-stage at that price, others are a single stage lift. I think 2-stage would get lower and higher but I am leery at that price point. (The Freight Harbor 2-stage is $600.)

This is a Red 1-stage one <https://www.harborfreight.com/1100-lb-high-lift-transmission-jack-33615.html>

Does anyone have one of these things the recommend and a reliable vendor??

Thanks in advance,

Stu
