Charlie is right. The base of the lift is too tall to roll the car onto it. I use quick lift jack (which you absolutely need if you don't already have one) and 2 4x4 blocks of wood to rase the car up and slide the lift under it.

Even w/pavement it can be tough, so we carry 2 x 10's w/a bevel cut to get the car to clear. Often, Marilyn has to lift the front and place boards judiciously about the lift so that the tires sit on them and keep the bottom free. From where I'm watching, it's a major PITA for her. Unfortunately, she has developed tremendous upper body strength from this continued exercise (read wicked right punch). I don't think this particular lift will work unless you've checked tube OD v. your ride height. Or, you have Ms.Hercules (w/out the attitude) crewing for you.
