I was thinking the same thing. I changed all 4 in 30 minutes with a floorjack and a star wrench. Beat the rain that was coming in too. But kudos to Electra for being able to help you out.

A lift doesn't save too much time, maybe 5 minutes, it just makes lifting the car easier and gives you extra height. After that point the process is the same. Some of us don't have the space to jack up a car though

The thing I like about the lift is that because of a previous back/hip injury, it's hard for me to spend a lot of time crawling aroud under the car.
If I'm working on the wheels/brakes/suspension etc it's easier than laying on the ground. And when used in conjunction with the engine hoist and tranny jack, engine/tranny swaps are a breeze.

Yea I never thought too much about it until you need to change the spark plugs in a lowered car when you stand 6'4. My lower back kills me whenever I'm done.
