Re: 4 post car lift board vendors and 110 or 220

I have the pro park 9 plus and I couldn't imagine have anything smaller. The tires on my Blazer hang off of the sides of the ramps by about an inch.

I would go for the extended length and height regardless of the lift brand you buy as trucks "eat up" lift length real quick. The extra height allows you to get a truck underneath for storage. If you are planning to "stack" trucks you will probably need 14' ceilings. My '49 panel is tall enough in my 12' shop that I can probably only get my firebird or corvette under it. A pickup would allow me to go higher as I could position the cab between the trusses. Just some things to think about if you're buying your first lift.
