You are going to be doing a lot of guessing with an obd1 ford. You will find out that there is virtually no live data available. Good luck.

Haaaaa! Is there such a thing as overkill? It was only a year old and way to good of a deal to pass up.

I use a 12000 lb rotary at work. Great lift!!! I use a 16000 lb mohawk at home. The absolute best!!!!

Get a symmetrical. Period. And I would look for at least a 10. Assymetrical is great with cars and suv's . Scary with long heavy trucks. You will probably be over weight on 1 or more of the arms.

I have a 10,12 and 15 000lb rotary. The 10 is assymetrical. I assure you if diesel trucks are a regular thing for you,you will not be happy. I absolutely despise assymetricals for lifting bigger vehicles.

Hole saw multiple spots in the lid of a 5 gallon pail. Done.

I understand the whole hobby lift thing trust me. I own a mohawk tp 16. Do you honestly think it's not safe since it doesn't have a cross bar?

My mohawks baseplate is 30 x 24.

Exactly! Most people have never used one. And a general rule of thumb for most is,if I haven't used one,or don't know anything about it, it can't be good...lol

3 out of 4 have ID plates on them stating weight capacity and model numbers. I'm sure if I did some digging I could pinpoint the age. I have 3 two posts as well but I sure do love the in grounds.

All 4 of my in grounds are 50+ years old. Some repairs over the years I have had them but overall have been great.

Guaranteed it is surrounded with concrete. At the top!! Even a very basic jackhammer will make short work of it. A few friends and a mini ex will work awesome.

I think the general public are scared of a little hard work. It is labour intensive. But does not take long at all. As mentioned earlier weld up any deep pitting. I sealed the outside of ours with roofing tar for extra protection. No concrete on the bottom of mine. Just backfill with sand and...

Not kidding here,but probably the wrong lift for the truck. We have 7 lifts. Sometimes I have to throw in the towel and move the truck to a different bay with a different lift and try again.

Exactly!!! I absolutely dispise our assymetrical for any larger vehicles.
