After following this thread for the last week, I finally pulled the trigger and bought a 4-post. I got the special from American Automotive after spending a couple of hours pricing and reading specs. The 2-post almost had me sold, but I really wanted the extra car storage that came with the 4-post. The Quik-Lift wasn't an option for me, as it was just too expensive for what it offered and didn't seem too much better than four jackstands. I'm just tired of laying on my back working on my cars. I think the 4-post is the biggest bang for your (my) buck. Thanks for all the input, as all arguments had their merits.

Just got an email from them...the special is being continued until Friday. Good deal.

Congratulations!!! Each post can be handled by an individual, the ramp without the cylinder by two. The ramp with the cylinder either 4 or two and a floor jack. Very easy to assemlbe and hard to do wrong. All the fansterners just hold pieces in place, they do not "support" anything. The ramps overhand the cross bars for support. Make sure after you are done your hydraulic hose it angled up under the runway so the cable does not drag, no real big deal if it does since it is armored under the rubber but with a slight adjustment it will not touch. It will be obvious.

Deam- very nice cobra. Love the red and the car sits just right.

ZOERA-SC7XX- I'm thrilled to death, I just ordered a TWO post lift from a company.

http://www.gesusa.com/Dannmar-MaxJax...-p/1375659.htm

http://www.maxjaxusa.com/

http://www.dannmar.com/products/two-...jax/index.html

It's called the MaxJax. The vertical post's are only 89" and my garage ceiling weight is 108" (9 ft) (7,000 lb weight) The are pads only 3.5" tall so, for our Cobras or any low car, they will go under the car. My friend has a mechanic shop and has four lifts like this unit but, being larger, I have to drive my cobra on 2x4's to get it up high enough so the arms can go underneith.

Now, I can take out my tranny, all suspension work, brake jobs ect...... without laying on my back !

Really, I mean no,...dissrespect with the Kwik Lift, I also like it but, the ramps can be if your way, and to lift 2/4 wheels/tires off the ramp for brake work, suspension ect. you have to use bottle jacks (or the like) to get it up in the air. A lot of work compared to this 4 post lift. And since this MaxJax has saftey stops, just like my friends larger lift's, you can store your car up in the air, like the 4 post.

It's a awesome lift and can't wait for it !

If you guys or anyone else want one, I can get you a great deal but, you MUST, contact me only, for now,...ok ?

I will work my best to get you this deal for any of you.
$1,800 and Free Shipping !

There is so much more you can do with this lift and, you can still stand up.

This lift is so compact, I'll have no problem even leaving it up or store it away in a corner. It is totally portable.
You do anchor it into the ground with threaded, expansion bolts but, take the bolt's out and store it. The arms have simple pins, pull them out to store.

Even in my small garage, I plan on leaving my post's in all the time but, I may at times remove the arm's for even more room. If you look at the photo's, you'll see that all of the parts store in a nice small package. The post come with dolly wheels to make moving them very easy to move. I even thought of household jobs I could use it for. Put a sheet of plywood on each pad and I'll have a work bench. Building anything, welding ect. With my bad back, even putting my big dogs on the sheet high enough for me, and give them baths. lol

Any questions just email me. I will give you my number to call me if you wish.

(again, only contact me)

cobrakev@galaxycable.net







(this will work great for my motorcycle & ATV)









Thanks,
