    Which orientation is your garage and why?

    I went 24x36 deep with 2 10x10 doors. When it was built I had a crew cab long bed dually and if was only 24 deep you would barely be able to walk around it. If you don't need to store something as large as a dually I would go 36 wide with 3 doors.

    After much deliberating, I've decided to go with a 4 Post Lift. Just 1 more question

    The pivot is outside of the ramps. The part that the ramps hang on can be attached on either end. You attach the ramps in the same place that the stops are shown in this picture. The handle rotates down and clears the ramps. That being said my lift has the handle more parallel to the...

    After much deliberating, I've decided to go with a 4 Post Lift. Just 1 more question

    I have a 4 post lift and the ramps can be used on either end without getting in the way of the release handle. Mine is a no name Chinese lift but looks just like the Atlas 8000. There is a bolt on part that holds the ramp on that gives clearance for the lock release.

    Any similar lifts as the Atlas 9KOH?

    I only used it once so far. I took the tub off my Jeep and it's still in the air so I can do some work on it. The hardest part of the installation was putting the cross bar on top.

    Any similar lifts as the Atlas 9KOH?

    The biggest advantage over the 9KOH is the single point release. The dual point to me is a safety hazard. Yes I bought it from Best Buy Auto. I think it's there house brand because the warrant card has there address on it. I had it shipped to a freight terminal. When I ordered it they had...

    Reasonable Parts Markup?

    I just looked up a Moog EV455 at Oreilly's and it's 68.99+tax. Schwab's is going to get it local and mark it up. Doesn't matter what you can order it for on the internet.

    More Lift Questions. 4 vs 2. Cheap vs $$

    I have a no name chineese 4 post that I bought cheap to use as a scaffolding when I was doing the electrical in my new shop. It has 2 sliding jack trays that makes it easy to pull wheels off. I have done just about everything on it from swapping motors to changing gears. My main complaint is...
