Porsche 996 lift / ramp
Discussion
while looking for options this seemed a good idea:

Costco has the Quickjack on offer for a grand but too rich for the limited number of times I am likely to use it.
The JackPoint jack stands look great but they are $300 pair + shipping + duty so similar price to the quickjack once landed and paid for.

Look a good idea to me but can surly be knocked up for a fraction of that price. Heavy duty box section with jacking plate welded at appropriate dimensions.. bingo !!http://liftbars.com/index.htm

I’ve been agonizing about buying one of these for the 986
1.5 ton non-adjustable width or 2 ton adjustable meaning I can use it on other cars too. Hmmm...

I know what you mean - I've a double garage but only 1.5 bays of it are free so may not be able to place the lift alongside. I am wondering though if I could buy the adjustable width version and expand / build it up from the side, pushing it under as I go. They are only down the road from me in Heywood so might pop in and have a look at one in the flesh, see if it's possible. I've already cleared it with Father Christmas (who's already bringing a certain other family member a Dyson Air-wrap thing costing a bloody fortune)
I really like the look of the tilting feature meaning loads of access to the back of the car. I might finally see the engine on my 986
As I said, I'm agonizing!!!

I have used a pair of low profile jacks for years. https://www.sgs-engineering.com/tjl2-2-tonne-low-p...
Jack front or rear at same time using jacking points each side, support on simple axle stands, then lift the other end and support on stands.
Simple, safe, cheap, stable!
