I like the Esco's a lot, and recommend them, but I do have to point out one thing about them and the 986. The lowest setting on the regular size is a bit high.

The lowest setting on the regular size is 13", they now make a shorty style where the lowest setting is 11". It's doable, but 13" pretty high for the 986 when you are lifting it one wheel at a time. Because the 986 frame is so rigid, I have had one whole side of the car in the air, with just one jack stand in the rear, which can be nerve-racking. This is why I now use 2-stage wooden cribs to get the wheels 6" or 12" off the ground before placing it on stands.
