cleaning up a chassis. So it is an imperfect world. Yours is faster and
less expensive by a factor of 2 to 3, but I can walk under mine and park a
vehicle on it over another vehicle if I wish. I appreciated the information just
the same - maybe for my next life ! Vic

There are many choices out there, so finding one for anyone's wants should be easy. If I ever thought I'd be using my shop for full on restorations, I would have put in higher cielings so I could use a 4 post or 2 post lift. If I ever get the acre I want, I will have a 4 poster too. I am a bit shorter than most
so the lower lift is not much of a problem except it is in the way when refinishing the bottom of the hull. My lift always has something broken on it so storage is not a concern like it is with John F's situation.
The mid-rise is perfect for body/suspension work. 2 or 4 Post lifts can get in the way in those situations. It's a give and take situation.
I have had to turn down 2
free in-ground single post lifts because I had no place to store 'em. Once I get a bigger property, I will look for a in-ground lift and place it in the driveway. When it's down, it's out of the way, but up it is up, great for messy outside jobs like pressure washing or sand blasting chassis.
