Here's how I have mine set up...works fine so far. I've used it maybe ~15 times, Tacoma pickup, Alfa Spiders, and MKIV VW's.
Edit: I have it blocked up on wood so the cable doesn't drag across the tops of the lift's rolling jacks. It's very secure and doesn't flex at all.
I'm still in for (1) unit plus (2) packs of consumables. I'd also like to kick in an extra $5 as a small token of thanks for the considerable effort in putting this together.

I have a 120 gallon Champion duplex compressor that has been pretty much problem free since I purchased it...
