First off, I tried a search and didn't come up with much of anything. My father and I are looking to get a lift to put in MY shop. 2 post lifts seem to be the way we are leaning, but looking for input the other way. Also looking for a brand name that is good without having to take out a 2nd on my house.lol We are deciding what is best for us. Oil changes, suspension work, undercar detailing, tire rotations etc. Also would like to store my Mustang on it when not driving, to keep the very active 3 & 5 y/o boys I own from scratching it. Let me know what your experiences have been with each. Thanks Kevin
I would agree on the 4 post for starage use, thats what I have. They also sell sliding air jacks or plates to put jacks on for doing suspension work with the 4 posts.
What brand did you go with? Lots of different companies that build these. Sounds like BendPac builds a nice lift? Kevin
If you are doing anything with serious work or that involves removing the wheels stick with a 2 post lift. I have a drive on Kwick-Lift (same concept as a 4-post but doesnt go as high, and I would take a 2 post any day over a drive on lift.
for a 4 post, park your DD underneath lift, backyard buddy is the way to go... well made, lots of options available, such as a hydraulic jack to allow the tire changes, etc...
I am leaning torward the 2 post. Putting the stang on the lift for storage was to keep the kids from possibly scratching it. I am just going to have to put the fear of them being feed to the grizzly bears if they touch it will have to work. First and foremost, the useability is the main function. Seems that having to raise the car on the lift and then jack the car up off the rack to take a tire off doesn't make sense to me. The scissors are cool, but adds $5000 to the cost. Any specific brands of 2 posts that anybody recommends?? Kevin
Worth 2 post Lifts?? Has anybody (especially in Texas) heard of or used a Worth Lift. A friend has one and really likes it. Looking for some other input here. Kevin
