Re: Above Ground lift questions

IMO a 2 post will do pretty much anything you want. We used a 2 post to service all of our fleet vehicles, which were FULLY loaded e350 service vans. Usually over 800-1000 extra pounds or more in back. Very stable even with a monster of a vehicle like that.

The thing that made the biggest difference was
A. the arm length
b. the jack-point "feet" or whatever they are called.

I'm not sure if our lift was wider or had longer arms than standard, but it seemed like for many "normal" sized vehicles, the arms had to be adjusted WAY out, probably a little farther than I'd like with a big heavy vehicle.

For the "feet" they were screw-in height adjustable and removable. They made a couple styles you could replace it with, one being the flat pad, another being more of a "frame rail" shape that cupped the rails.
