Installed Bendpak P6 Pit Lift today
Bendpak P-6FB, flush mount, pit lift. Only thing that makes it flush mount is square ends, instead of ramps, which don't work on Corvettes.
Only raises up to 27 inches off the floor, but that's almost 3 times higher than my Race Ramps so that's great!
Enjoy! By the way, does anyone know of adapters or blocks to use on cars without "lifting points", puck areas like Corvettes? My Malibu, Impala, and Acadia have about 1/2 inch long, very thin, pinch welds along the bottom of the frame and I can't lift them up on this lift without some sort of adapter. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I use a short piece of 4x4 that has a relief slot/groove cut into one face (used a table saw, but circular saw would work) that is just slightly deeper than the welded crimp seam. If the 3 1/2" piece is too thick to fit between the jack and the frame, you'll need to trim it.

Can you tell me how far the lift moves the car back at full height? I've been thinking of buying the 6XP that lifts straight up but there is no access to exhaust or anything in the center of the car. Your 6FP allows that but I don't have a lot of space in front of or behind the car and may not be able to use it.
Thanks!
