Jacking car and/or lifts

[CompFi]

Just wanted to follow up and say thanks to all that contributed to this and related threads.

I opted for a 4 post lift from Direct. I went with the 4 post as my primary usage is for winter storage. For maintenance, I am considering the sliding jack accessory, but will need to save up for that.....

I went with Direct ProPark 8 because I liked that the lift is certified by an independent, third party. But I could not find the standard size anywhere, so I went with the ProPark 8 Plus from Derek Weaver.

I also could not find anyone in the local area for the install. As they say, "some assembly required..." While the install itself is not complicated, the biggest challenge is the simple weight of a few of the pieces, particularly the runways. Highly recommend that you invite several friends over to assist in positioning the pieces. And also have 4 furniture dollies handy as they make emplacing the runways MUCH easier.

The Direct lift is still new to me, but so far, I have been very pleased with it. And pleased with Derek Weaver as well, easy to do business with a company like that!

I also just pulled the trigger on a 4-Post Lift. You get the best of both worlds by being able to work underneath your car, as well as gain another car spot in your garage! I purchased a Universal 8000 FP-Short, made my North American Auto Equipment. At 141" in length without the ramps, it should fit in any garage with a lifting height of 72". Capacity weight is 8000 lbs.
