So the max Jax is nice but since downsizing I need to find a way to store things like cars, boxes etc. I had a 4 post 15 plus years ago and it was fine but didn't go high enough. I have a space now in the 3rd stall that is 10'4" tall and 11 foot wide. I would prefer the 4 post be as narrow as possible as the only thing stored on them will be Porsches and boxing supplies.

What would the brain trust point me towards?

BendPak HD 9 here...but it's not a 6' clear underneath. I've stood up forgetting where I am and bonked myself a few times.

I think they have an extra high version.

Note: You'll need air to unlock the safety latches though. Some of the others have a mechanical release. I wish I had that! My brother got an Atlas 2-post lift from, it's nice.

Are you going to add bridge jacks etc? I have them for mine and 2 of those are as much as the entire lift. I wish I had space to do a 2-post for work and 4-post for storage.

Good to know. I have to measure how tall my 914-6 is anyway as I have 10'4" and no matter what may not be able to stand up under a lift as I am 6-1 and 3/4";)

Ben,
my ceiling is like 10' 3
its a 2 post... but same problem
a 914 at full lift does not allow anyone to walk under without stooping...
so I got a swivel office chair, and don't lift the car to maximum
then do most of my work seated on a chair

I actually do the same thing with my maxjax now.. I will likely make a game day decision on what brand I buy on black Friday

That’s what I did with my maxjax. It was only $150 off but that was before they raised the price 50%. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
