1. A wheel lift system, comprising:
- a first arm;
a second arm pivotally attached to said first arm at a pivot point in a crossing manner;
wherein said first arm is comprised of a first lower segment below said pivot point and a first upper segment above said pivot point, and wherein said second arm is comprised of a second lower segment below said pivot point and a second upper segment above said pivot point;
a first handle attached to said first upper segment and a second handle attached to said second upper segment;
a first support extending from said first arm;
a second support extending from said second arm, wherein said first support and said second support are capable of supporting a wheel and tire;
a first base attached to a lower end of said first arm;
a second base attached to a lower end of said second arm;
at least one first wheel attached to said first base;
at least one second wheel attached to said second base, wherein said at least one first wheel and said at least one second wheel adjust toward each other along with said first arm and said second arm; and
a bias member attached to said first arm and said second arm for providing a bias force that assists in elevating a tire positioned upon said first support and said second support.
