I've priced lifts and made arrangements to have a used 2 post 9K# lift installed next week. Now I'm having second thoughts. The dealer also has a used 4 post. They're about the same price. I decided the 2 post would be much better for repair work. I'm concerned that the car that will be stored on the lift will have problems from the suspension hanging all the time. I don't want to have to hassle taking the wheels off of it each time I lift it, and don't know if that would alleviate the problem anyway. What would you guys do? Is there enough room between the ramps of a 4 post to do a engine drop? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I think if you are going to use it mainly for work on the car then stick with the two post. But if storage is your main thing then go with the 4post. I donno...personally the only reason I would want a 4 post is if it was an alignment rack...
Is the two post you are getting a symetrical or a-sym? open top or closed? I have a symetrical open top two post and I like it alot, but it is a little harder to get the bigger vehicals on it. My buddy has an a-symetrical closed top, which is actually easier than mine to use, but it is a closed top, so you have to have at least a 15ft celing to use it. Either way, you are getting off the ground, which is what it is all about... good luck, Tony |
