I was able to install mine in a short day by myself but it would have been far better to have two people. I plan to make a set of long ramps that can be set in the lift arms to make the 2 post work like a 4 post. This way you can drive the car right up onto the lift and it will be sitting on the tires when elevated making it work as a 4 post type. Best of both!
I have been debating this myself. I knew that if I waited long enough McGyver (I mean Kurt) would figure something out. Maybe you can patent these "long ramps"
