I can't provide any feedback, but it looks quite interesting. I wish I had the space to install a lift. I'd want to have the capability to get all four wheels off the ground at once, though.

yeah that seems like a lot of fuss (and money) to just lift one end of the car. Not sure how much you'd be gaining (or losing?) on this versus a low-lift "scissor" type lift that the body prep guys I know seem to like...

A couple of things. The ad says for one column so you won't lift the front or back just one wheel. About the seller. I bought a 4 post 8,000 lb lift from Best Buy and their delivery was on time and the customer service was very good. I had mine shipped to a freight terminal in Vegas and drove their where the freight company loaded it on my trailer and off I went back to home to unload a piece at a time and assemble. I would deal with them again and feel very comfortable about it.

Thanks for the replies so far. I'm just looking for a way to maybe not have to lay on my back when fastening under bumpers and to work on rocker panel damage. Have considered a mid rise scissors lift but thought this would be easier to get done what I need done. Ideally I'd like to have both or 2 of the wheel lifts. By rights the shop I work at should be buying us lifts, they supply the mechanics lifts. I believe they would pay for them selves and probably be less wear and tear on our bodies. My name is not on the Marque so by default I know nothing.
