Karl,

I'm still going to get a lift put in my shop before the end of the year come heck or high water! Looks like the high water will come first given all the rain we're getting...

I'm going with a BendPak 4 post lift and possibly a 2 post lift in the way distant future. My slab is 6 inches thick but I also made deeper footings in both bays of the shop to accomodate the 4 post and possible 2 post lift.

Like mongocanfly said though, you have most likely already planned for this.

I have already got that in my plans. My "extra" footings are going to be 4'x4' and 4"-6" deeper than the bottom of the actual slab. In the post area it will be almost 10" thick. I install VERY large cranes where I work so I will be going a little overboard on the footings for this lift for my shop....

I think the high water is going to get me too at this point. Rained again today and in the forecast for 7 of the next 10 days....

I have a forward two post 12K lift with the larger foot for securing it to the floor,I love it, it will lift my C10 and my Powerstroke Crew cab and not even grunt, it has manual locks with at first I didnt like because you have to do them one at a time to unlock them but its actually no big deal and I bought it used off Craigslist and installed it myself, it was pretty easy. best thing I ever bought too.
