An automotive lift system includes a longitudinal series of transverse pairs of left and right rigid lifting legs (10), neither any legs of said pairs of legs nor any longitudinally successive legs having any on-ground connection therebetween, each of the legs having a top (12) and a bottom (14), each bottom of each leg having, pivotally secured to it, a planer base which is anchored upon an on-ground floor (16). The system also includes left and right longitudinal vehicle wheel support platforms (24), the platforms having a pivotal connection (34) relative to the respective tops (12) of each of the respective pairs of left and right rigid legs (10). Also included are fluid piston and cylinder power assemblies (28) within at least one pivotal connection (25) within one of the series of left and right lifting legs, for selectively changing the effective length of the pistons of the power assemblies to correspondingly and synchronously modify the angulation between each piston, its corresponding lifting leg, and its respective platform, to synchronously control the height of each platform relative to each other.
