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)
