Are you looking for a storage or service lift?

2 posts are better for service, and lift by the frame, and are not as good for long term storage (can be done, but hard on the suspension rubber bushings - a 4 post is much better). 4 posts are the storage lifts and lift by the tires (service adapters are offered, but more of a hassle). Then there are side lifts, scissors lifts, etc.

And yes, I have a 2 post in my garage, and very pleased with it. Picture will have to wait however.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I am thinking of Bend Pak or Direct Lift.
Anybody else have a 4 post lift from these two brands?

Recently purchased a Direct Lift - Pro Park 700 from Greg Smith Equipment - $1,595.00 & LOVE it.

Required three buddies to assemble the unit & 3 or so gallons of hydraulic fluid. From start to finish approx. 3.5hrs.
