Thoughts, experiences, frequency of use, etc. If you have pictures of your set-up in general; decisions you wish you had made; decisions you were thankful you DID make - all would be helpful! I have plenty of ceiling height; do I need to spend big bucks for infrequent use (mostly as a storage device)? The lift will need to be functional for teener engine drops...suffice to say, it has to be a two-post.

My house had a 2 post installed when I bought it. Max height is around 5 1/2' so at 6' tall I can't quite stand up straight underneath.
I really like having a lift but the biggest problem is that it is not low profile. I can't get the jacking arms low enough to fit under my 996 Attached thumbnail(s) |

I can't get the jacking arms low enough to fit under my 996 We often have to jack up a low car to slide the arm in and then use some spacers under the pad so it doesn't hit the rockers. |

What Mark said. On both items. I have a box of 3*3 MDX pieces to use a spacers. I have a 10K Bend Pak Asymmetrical as a primary. We're planning on a 7k and 2 4 posts in the next upgrade. |
