Well I am coming back to the forum of knowledge for more help. :) You guys are the best!

I have a 2000 F350 dually, 7.3 and the width of the rear section of the truck is about 100" but i can't find a 4 post lift wide enough to accommodate this width without buying a really expensive commercial lift. Has anyone found a lift that would have a drive-thru measurement around a 106" or more without breaking the bank? I only need a 9 or 10K lift.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I bought my 11k Advantage specifically in order to fit my F350 dually. At the time, maybe 3 1/2 years ago, it was wider than anything Wildfire had. I don’t recall the actual width, but it’s wider than their 9k lift, specifically to accomodate dually pickups.

it also comes with aluminum drive up ramps. A lot of the 12000 lb lifts I considered were disqualified from my search because they had permanent steel approach ramps that hung down, a perfect sub dural hematoma experience in the making, and many were described as service lifts, which weren’t practical to park under, or work under, for that matter, as the lift height was limited.

On my fp9k-dx-xlt, the drive thru distance is 99", but that is the distance between the inside edge of the column footings. The distance between the inside edge of the columns is 111.5", and what I use for sizing. Two other specs that might be of interest are the distance between the insides of the tracks, and the distance between the outside of the tracks for your tire "fit". If you download the manual for one you're interested in, they typically have drawings with dimensions.

Thanks Shortbus, I looked and many line drawings but haven't found anything wider than 99" for a hobbyist. I see some 4 post lifts with duallys on them, like some have stated earlier, but they are still 99" or less. The search goes on...🔍🙃 Thanks 👍
