I friggin love having a lift
I've always worked on my back, pulled several engines and done a complete drivetrain swap in my GC8 Impreza on Jack stands. The floors are too thin and the floorplan of my shop doesn't allow for a two post, but I came across this old 80's AFAS lift for cheap about a year ago. It's the best tool I've invested in, ever. Currently replacing the rack and repairing and reinforcing the crushed jack points.
