Matt, I have a lift that is the same or similar to ITEM 91315-5VGA listed at
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=46604
that I bought used. I have a picture of my #3400 on it. I could email a photo if you want.
I got mine on the lift with 2x_ s and didn't use the adjustable slide pads. My plan is to make 2x_s with a different colored stripe for each car on the left one as a guide for proper left/right alignment. Thus I can drive a car onto it without someone having to direct me. And with a short 2x4 with a couple bolt/pins to drop into holes in the left plank for a forward stop, allowing for different length cars. Mine is outside at present, but plan to move inside later,
Bud #3400

I have no idea how their quality compares but harbor freight has a scissor
lift that starts at around $900.00 6000 lb capacity. Here is a link

Good luck!
