Hello Sparks, all you should do if you're storing a car is remove the wheels/tires, from the car. That is what puts extra weight on the suspension.

Email me at- cobrakev@galaxycable.net
if you have futher questions or want to order.

Thanks,

I'll add my .02.
If your intentions is to just store 1 or 2 cars and have a high ceiling, a 4 post is fine. As for working on a car, a 4 post will need a bridge across the ramps to hold 2 or more jacks to lift the car in the air.

I don't believe there is another low ceiling home garage lift like the MaxJax on the market. I've thought of some other uses with the arms. It could convert into a large or small work bench by laying plywood in the arms, if you are restoring a body or truck cab, make a simple welding table, working on garden tractors, ect.... many use's other than working on cars.

Lift's aren't for storing cars. The're for working on cars. 2 post is the way to go. I bought mine 5 years ago. It is without a doubt the best tool I have ever invested in. I use it all the time.

That's ridiculous. Why aren't they for storing cars? That's exactly why I went 4 post. Store 2 and work on the 3rd in the other bay. Great for storage AND working on the car(s)
