4 Post Lifts

Does anyone have any experience or opinions regarding 4 post lifts that I could use in my garage.

I'm getting too old to be laying under my truck anymore. It takes the fun away and I thought about a 4 post lift system for service and storage reasons.

Thanks,

Ed

There was some talk down in the garage and workshop forum about lifts, check it out:

I installed a 2 post 12,000 lb frame lift at our place several years back. They can be had very reasonably from Complete Hydraulic Sales & Service in Franklin, Indiana.

I find the two post lifts more functional for working on the truck than the four post lifts.
Two post makes it easier to remove the wheels, do brakes, suspension, etc. And wide open space under the truckwhen working on everything else.
