Fergwife and I are house shopping right now, and I got the OK for a garage lift for the new place. I'm just starting to do my research and think I want a 2 post lift for ease of working on the car (wheels suspended) But... I'm finding that 4inch base of concrete is a must, and doubt that newer homes around here have that. So I may have to go the 4 post route, My plans and hopes are 3 cars in 2 car garage, and minor 914 work made easier.
Those with lifts (Gint, Jim, ect) have any insight for me on types of lifts, good experiences with certain companys ect. TIA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Ferg. |

I prefer any lift that will get all four tires off the ground, otherwise I would stick with a good floor jack, snapon and others make nice compact 3/4 lifts that brake or body shops use, if you shop around you can find nice used ones, I picked this one up for less than 400.00. It will get my car up 42".
