I can tell you from my experience with the 2 post lift. Buy the biggest you can afford. I have had my 2000 K3500 dually 4x4 extended cab on my 9k lb lift. Does it lift it, yes. Do I feel comfortable, no. If I had not found the deal I did I had already set my sites on the 15k lift from Greg Smith equipment. If I had it to do over again I would have passed on what I bought and spent the extra to get the one I wanted, it still may happen. I have 16 ft ceilings as well so there are not any lifts I kn ow of that won't work. I really wanted a 4 post but couldn't justify the floor space for one.

I would not buy anything less than a 9k but that just me.
