For instance, I'm going to be doing some work on my truck and while all of it can be done on the ground, having the truck lifted in the air is going to be much easier to get done and it's going to save me so much money doing it myself.

I need to replace the 
passenger side lower ball joint
Passenger side upper control arm
Front brake pads and rotors
Front struts and springs

All parts cost just under $500.00 from Rock Auto's Dailey Driver parts and take me about maybe 3 to 4 hours if I take breaks and drink a lot of pop having to use the bathroom a lot.

Now, if I were to get this work done at a garage, they would keep my truck for a couple of days and charge my close to $3,000.00...just guessing here since I do all my own auto repair and maintenance.

It is really nice having a car lift.

 Thought the thread was going a different direction. Thought it was going to be about lift kits. In that vein when I was running things in the Tri-County area we "jacked up" the back ends of out cars. Some folks used Air shocks however, those of us not on daddy's dime used things called shackles that we attached to the leaf springs.

As to the OP: we were able to do that an other modifications at a Gas Station at the Sharon Rd exit of 75. Old school gas station rented lift by the hour.
