I have to admit - that's pretty slick, and would solve the majority of the issues I have regarding the do-it-myself jobs that I'm not afraid to tackle. The website (myliftstand.com) suggest that the product is relatively new and not currently available for sale. I left my contact info on the web form and will post back with any info I receive. Good find!

Don't sit around and wait, you may be waiting for a few years if they ever even get off the ground. There are so many other lift products on the market.

This things work really well. I bought a set some time ago when I had my Mustang that was lowered quite a bit. Though I picked up mine at a local parts store for about $60. Look and function exactly the same but don't have a Race Ramp logo.

Ramps are great, but you need your car level for an oil change, and with the lift stands you can level up the car, which makes for better working and although certain hydraulic lifts have safety cut off, these type of stands are way safer IMO. To many lift disasters.

Looks great, BUT:
1 - They only support a maximum tyre width of 275mm, so that's too narrow for most X150s with 20" wheels
2 - How do you get the car onto them in the first place? The minimum height looks too high to just drive onto them, you'd have to either use ramps or jack up each corner in turn enough to get these under the wheels and with the suspension decompressing as you lift the car you'd have to jack them quite high - probably past the minimum height of axle stands.

I think the idea has merit, in that, it's a jack stand for tires in lieu of ramps. It's the process of having to jack first, move the stand beneath a tire, that causes me to look the other way.
However,..........
Owning an RV without a built-in leveling system, causes me to think in terms of having two of these for placing under the front tires for leveling. With RVs not being within a certain range of "level" can lead to refrigeration failures. At least with our class C 2008 Winnebago View J model.

OUCH, that must've hurt!

Really neat idea though, but probably more appeal for mobile mechanics, recovery drivers or the more able home mechanic than most people that just like to do what they can themselves (like me).
