Allan,
Trial and error and some common sense!
I have a Mohawk asymmetrical lift and a balanced load isn't always obvious
due to the angle of the columns. But you can determine if you're heavy in
one direction or the other based on the load felt on some of the rollers.

And with a four post you might have enough height to stack cars. My brother
in-law’s neighbor has two of these in his three car garage. He keeps four cars
in those two bays - one on each lift, one parked below. You can’t have
