Table lift for Ryobi RE 601

I use a Ryobi RE 601 router on my router table. (I have a DeWalt 618K
for hand routing).

Here's a link to the Ryobi:
http://www.lawson-his.co.uk/scripts/details.php?cat=Routers%20Ryobi&product=37560

I'd like to get a lift for my router table but most of the lifts I've
seen fit the DeWalt and not the Ryobi. I don't want to swap routers
because I'd lose a ton of versatility. And I'd rather not buy a new
router so I can fit it on a table lift. Can anyone recommend a table
lift that fits the router shown in the link above?

I've got the same router and use it with Ryobi's router table. I have
that table anchored into a piece of plywood. For a lift, I just use a
car scissor jack.

The scissor jack sits on the plywood, underneath the router and then I
just turn the screw to push it up or bring it down.

If you haven't all ready done this, pull the springs out of the
router's plunge shafts. When I did that on mine it gave me a little
more height above the table and made it a lot easier to move the
router up and down.
