I'm shopping for an auto lift... suggestions?

[bishir]

I'm going to have to have an idea of the kind of lift I want before I plan the garage so I'm shopping around now. I want to know what everyone thinks of this lift manufacture?

Their lifts appear stronger and cost less than others, but I'd like to hear what you guys have to say.

Looked at a lift these guys had at the World of Wheels friday and it looked pretty good. They are built next door in Kansas. Anybody have any info about them?

I would suggest either a Benwill or a Rotary. Some of those swap meet, car magazine type lifts are rather flimsy. There was a thread on the Corvette page where one of the posts on a four post lift collasped spilling a Corvette off of it and damaging another Corvette.

This is the Manufactuer of the lift I bought
Lift
I believe the prices are lower in the catalog they send me then on there website.
These guys stand behind there product, I bought the lift somewhat used and had a small problem with it, they sent me about $120. worth of parts free..
On a 2 post lift I would definetly get an asymmetrical lift, this allows you to open the door without banging it against the lift.
Any other ?'s you can email me.

ok I tried to stay out of this one BUT I couldnt ... My lift is a "Forward" 4 post....ya I know 4 post lifts suck but thats what I needed.... I do to much undercar junk.. I'd bet there is only $500 difference between a good lift an a "less expensive" one.. you can def "see" the difference in the to... mine also has an air operated jack that slides on the inside of the rails ..
