Nagging question on Clamps

The carpenter clamps look to be quick and easy. Good thinking.

What I do is loosen the "U" bracket that attaches to the rear of the triangle plate.
If you loosen that bracket at the body..(two bolts) that allows the bracket to swing front to rear and move a little side to side. So it lets the holes line up. I have done it that way several times and never had an issue.

Just never load the suspension with the plate removed. Then you have problems.

Nice looking lift.... it looks like you can stand upright under the car....???? That would be great.
I have a scissor lift... can't stand up under it but I have enough room to roll under a car on my mechanic's stool so it works out well.

Yeah, I can pretty much stand under it though not absolutely. So I move around bent a little at the neck so I don't clunk my noggin. (Nothing under there has ANY give to it!)

My son (and his relatively new wife) built a house a couple years ago and, in addition to having room for several cars/motorcycles, he arranged for an 18' ceiling down at the last bay. For laudable reasons...

Working under a car on jack stands has lost all appeal for both of us.
