Talking 75" of lift on my 69

Finally got a lift that I have been planning for the past 5 years.

Blazer fits under with inches to spare. The 69 up top has a little room before it hits the ceiling. Main thing is that everything fits. And no I didn't have to take the top off the Blazer to get it under, it fits fine top or not.


If anyone is looking to get a 4 post, get the widest you can. This lift is the tallest and widest I could find. I will post pictures of it later but when the Blazer is on it the front tires hang off about 3/4" on each side and they aren't big tires or anything really.

Re: 75" of lift on my 69

Heard of 6" of lift, but 75" I had to see! Very nice, but I would put the p/u on the bottom, so oil didn't drip on the Blazer

It is a Direct Lift Pro Park 9

I have too many trucks for the size of garage I was allowed to build so I had to think of a way to jam them all into my garage. I still have room for another lift so I will be able to get 5 cars or trucks into a 3 car garage.

Re: 75" of lift on my 69

Great lift. I was a little confused about the headline until I read the post.

Heck, I would be happy to have a cherry picker. My garage is too short for a lift.

13' to the highest point

The bay is 12x24 with 10' end walls sitting on a 5 1/2" curb

If I had an extra couple inches I could lift the truck even higher, I still may be able to but I havent tried yet. The lift has one more locking position above what is shown in the pictures.

I liked the "75" of lift" hook a lot.

Seriously, How is that considered a "Garage"? It's cleaner than my kitchen.

Re: 75" of lift on my 69

Just picked up my Pro Park 9 today. Thanks for the PM on your installation experience as well as your thoughts on the lift so far. Your suggestions will probably save me some time installing mine.
