Lift - 4 Post or other - Megathread

[soroush]

Rotary two post, with three stage arms.

Fantastic!:banana

thats very nice ted :thumbsup, I worked(at my friends shop) on my car while it was on a rotary two post very much like your and it makes working on the car 1000 times easier than a four post, although I like my four post(for storage mainly) I will be getting a two post next for working on the car.

I'm 6' tall with a 9'6" ceiling height, anybody have similar numbers with a 4 post lift, is that enough height to work under comfortably?

i would say tall enough for a Gt and something else within reason on the top/bottom.

measure the height of the 2 cars you want to use in the lift. Add maybe 10-12 inches and there is your minimum height required.

GT is 44 inches or so, so almost 4'. That means at least 10' if you're 6 feet tall. Unless you're sitting on a roller chair.....

Def. tall enough to use as a storage lift at 9'6" ceilings with a GT and something else reasonable (ie - NOT an Expedition!!). You could be 4 feet or 6 feet or even 8 feet tall then. Wouldn't matter :biggrin

guess I misread the OP statement but my calculations are correct for storage purposes. :wink

yes, it is enabled in my user settings.

I think it only shows ONCE per page view. Mine's not there after my first post on this page either.

LOL, if we were so smart, we'd be living in Texas or California where it's nice and warm! (it's -4F today, and I expect about 3 inches of snow.......:bored)

As for Trent, if he's got alcohol in him today, HE'S the really smart one!! :cheers

yes, it is enabled in my user settings.

It only shows up once on a page. Then it is automatically disabled.
All is good:thumbsup

Since this is the Christmas season, you might just take another second,
and ask in a nicer fashion. Such as:

Wonder why my signature is not showing up?:wink
Bony, PLEASE advise when you have a chance.
Appreciate it, many thanks:thumbsup

Always glad to help!
God Bless America,

Yes - Same stats here. Get a rolling stool like I do. The FGT when on the lift at full height and the stool is perfect!

other cars - you don't have the height and are in the "tweener" state ala get the stool!

Hey wait a second - now come to think of I did have a little anti-freeze in the system when I plowed the 5" of snow off of everything yesterday.
How do you know all this stuff Fred? :biggrin

4 post lift installed....Merry Christmas to me

Finally got the Backyard buddy lift delivered and installed (8 weeks to make it). The installation guys did it on Christmas eve.

I'm definately getting a second one. I was waiting to get the first one to make sure the garage would not be too compacted with 2. Looks like it will be just fine on space (when I clean out those boxes and junk on the right).

 

[B O N Y]

congrats on the install and Merry Chistmas!

 

[johnk]

Congrats! I have a pair of BB lifts as well. They're the best and well worth the $$ IMHO.

 

[ByeEnzo]

Just had a Direct Lift ProPark Plus installed in my garage. I'm 6'4" so the additional lift height makes it easy to work under cars. I'm definitely thinking of getting a 2nd one.

Congrats, jb!

(Very shortly you'll kick yourself for not having bought one sooner ...if you haven't already! :lol)
