A friend just got a long deal on one.  Don't think it will go 70" but it will get his Willies pickup (high frame) high enough to make creeper work much more comfortable.  His is portable which is handy in limited space.  I can get details if you want, Rudi.

A few years ago I bought a Titan SL6000 lift from Eastwood.  I use it for my SUV mostly.  At the time, none of the units that go under each side of the vehicle were dimensionally compatible with the lift points on the SUV.  I didn't want a 4-post and a 2-post wasn't possible because I have hydronic floor heat, so I ended up with this one. 

It's OK. 

It takes up a fair amount of space when not in use but I've been thinking about making a plywood top for it to use as a table.  My Mustang won't quite clear it - the home-fabbed down tube from the exhaust manifold hangs down just a bit too far and hits, although I'm sure I could fix that by driving the car up on two-by's to get it over the lift.  It's not really possible to move the lift once the car is above it and it's a bit difficult to align the vehicle with the hoist since you have to position the hoist, then drive the vehicle over it.  I have painted marks on my concrete to allow me to position the lift in the right place (I have 8 foot ceilings and overhead garage door openers so I have to be a little fussy about where the lifted vehicle envelope is).  Then it's a matter of getting the vehicle mostly centered and mostly straight when you drive it in.

It's heavy - I paid for the liftgate delivery service and the driver put it in the garage for me.  It's not too hard to move around once assembled. 

It has hard safety stops to prevent collapse while it's raised, and can lift pretty high.  It can be hard to get to things that are just above the center framework though, and changing fluids can be a bit messy if the drain is near or above the center frame.

I'm actually pretty happy with mine, although I don't use it often.  It's better and safer than using several floor jacks.

Mine was $2656, including shipping and tax, in 2021 - if that helps any.  It looks like they're still available from Eastwood too, along with lots of other choices.

Instead of wood, do you have some dollies that you can put the car on, then roll it over the lift?  Don't know if they'd get you up high enough and it would be a little extra hassle to get the car on/off the dollies, but it would allow you to get the car in the air on the lift.

It looks to me like those lifts take up too much space under the car to be comfortable.  What kind of work do you have in mind once you've lifted the car with one of those?
