Just be sure you construct the proper base for the posts, which will likely mean digging out a part of your (existing) floor and digging and rebarring a proper footing with the bolts embedded.

And bigger is always better. I have seen a couple on CL recently for about $2k but no details on them.

Any of you cheap lazy folks have a 2 post lift in your shop? I have been looking at them for a while and a few questions come to mind on what to look for.

1. Most work will be on MB, but will also work on my 3/4 ton truck and suburban. 9k or worth the extra $100 or so for a 10k lift?

2. Symmetrical or asymmetrical? Asymmetrical seems to give you more clearance to open the doors. Some or most of the lists seem to have asymmetrical arms but do not appear to be true asymmetrical lifts as in the columns are rotated in slightly as opposed to pointing directly across to each other

3. Single point or 2 point release?

4. I assume the highest lift I can find and the largest width between columns I can find for the most room.

Anything else I should be looking for?
