    Default Really. ...

    You don't have to lift the spyder at all for changeing oil. I have ways but in the end on the ground has worked the best for me. Old bones, crapy knees, bad back and bumb leg and all

    I've used regular car ramps in the past, but really, it doesn't need to be lifted at all.

    I use a Harbor Freight ATV/Motorcycle lift to get it in the air, then set it down on jackstands. Yes, as others have said, you can change the oil without lifting it, but I prefer to have some room to work.

    I use three boards 2x8x1' one end cut on a 45 angle. Drive on them, gives room for drain pan.

    Thats what I do, whats so hard about that? Jackstands in the front, floor jack under the rear tire, pull out the ATV jack and you have all the center open to work.
