update,

Got the lift assembled, bolted to the floor, and wired. (In my next life I'm coming back as an electrician instead of a stock broker) My garage has a 13 foot ceiling so there is tons of room above the car with the lift all the way up. Getting the garage door to open against the ceiling instead of the standard 8 1/2 foot height was a total B*TCH. It took a few hours to set up the lift, and 3 days to get the garage door set up.

Question for those of you with an Eagle 4 post lift (FP-12) or similar. Do you have any vibration when raising a car on the lift? Mine seems to make a cavitation/vibration sound about half way up. Nothing seems to be rubbing and the lift seems to be plumb and level. I was thinking it's just the safety "wedges" rubbing against the safety rods.

My second question is do you guys feel comfortable storing your car on the lift in the raised position? Being that it's just hanging on the chains (yes I know there are safety mechs on the device) I'm a bit reluctant to leave it up.
