Looking at finally doing a 4 post lift for the garage to make more space. Does anyone know the absolute minimum dimensions needed to drop the engine? One of the lifts I was looking at measures 34 3/8" between the treads. Is that enough? If not, what is the minimum needed to drop the engine?
Would be nice to have a lift that can be used for other maintenance in addition to storage. Lastly, what options have you looked at and ultimately gone with? Not looking for the cheapest, but definitely not looking for the most expensive either. Maybe $3K or less? |
