For the budget minded Bend Pack makes a 9000 lb 2 post for $2400 shiped to your door. It requires 4 inch concrete which is standard for most slabs. It will fit under a 9.5 celing but has a strip that runs across the floor. At first I though it would be a bit of a nusance but it has not proven to be so. 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!

4 post are better for storage than work. Some 4 post do not need to be installed at all just assemble and plug in. To work on wheels, brakes or things on the suspention you will still need to jack the car up but you can do this on the lift then move the lift up to a comfortable working level.

Hello Mr. Bamboo meet Mr. Roundup. It works OK. Bamboo is just realy big grass and is related to the green stuff in your yard. (but not in my yard, the weeds won) Bamboo spreads by sending out shoots that sprout. Kill the shoots and it just sends more. Best way to stop it is to hammer or bury some 12 inch wide sheet steel down in the ground to make a block and then kill the stuff on your side. Or get some Velpar and kill it all. Velpar is real nasty to anything that is plant like and once aplied will kill anything from weeds to 100 foot trees. This one might not go over very well with the owner of the Boo.
