DFW car lift available?

I want to install this Mishimoto oil cooler guard and skid plate on my new M4X but it’s going to be a pain without a lift. Is there somewhere I can pay for an hour’s use of a lift to install? It’ll probably take 20 minutes.

Thanks!

We used to use the shop and lifts on the Air Force Base(s). The tools and bays were clean. Wiped and scrubbed clean. This might be a money maker for a business proposition in the economy, civilian market. Rental bays.


Get some 72" ramps. Race Ramps. race ramps.com

Did you use the center jack point? My jack won’t reach it I don’t believe. I’d have to check.

Yes I did use center point. U need low profile floor jack. Harbor Freight has good deals on them right now. Like $120 for 3 ton low profile one.
You can try ramps like someone said.
