Re: choosing a two post lift

I have a Challenger 10K symmetrical. My heaviest vehicle is a crew cab diesel. About 6K lbs. LWB vehicles will test your resolve when they're up there because the arms must be extended near their max. There's no strain on the lift mechanism, but seeing the leverage on those arms makes me uncomfortable. I also had thicker concrete, about 8 inches, put under my lift area. A lesson learned is to tell your concrete man to keep his saw away from that area where your posts will mount. I had to install my lift posts off from the best alignment in my shop because they scored the concrete right where I wanted the lift. Wish I had been home the day they poured.
