Hi - I went with the I10. Loved the extra width for the f150 and has not been a problem with smaller cars ( G35 )

Welcome to SWFL ( I live between Naples and Ft Myers - moved here about 5 years ago ). Lots of good advice here - let me add a few things on top of it ( I might have missed this in some of your threads ). 1) Garages in Florida ( in general ) are not real garages - so be careful what...

Just adding on to when you don't drill thru- when using epoxy !

Thanks all for the tape recommendations. A little more detail on why I asked - I had painted a yellow border on my garage floor, as well as faux gray trim on the cement block. When peeling up up the garage floor tape ( I used both blue and yellow/frog ) some of the paint pulled up, most likely...

What kind of stool do you use ? Also - if the arms are above your head, you might not be able to reach the bottom of the vehicle !

Nice - looks like you have 8 inches of extensions :) But duck for the arms. I'll be lifting mostly low clearance cars - so using the extensions will require a bit of extra work. Is that locked at the highest position ?

Yes I do - but not installed yet. Installation will be on May 7th !

Just checked - the latest version of your BP9 lift is ALI certified, so assume yours is

ALI is the Automotive Lift Institute. https://www.autolift.org/ali-directory-of-certified-car-lifts/ Here is a good link that discusses people's thoughts on ALI ( both for and against ): https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/ali-etl-lift-certification-requirements.418749/ In general...

Do you have any documentation? I am not aware of ALI certified lifts made in China that have failed. Now Non ALI is a different story

Good Points - but a few more variables to consider: You don't want to be to high, as you need to reach and 'force' things under the car. Rise height is usually measured from the floor to the top of the adapter ( the arms will be lower and things in the car could be higher ... ). Also - rise...

Very True

I had already painted a border on the garage floor - but when I pulled up the painters tape, it did pull up some of the garage paint. I saw this as an option to cover that up, and perhaps compliment the border with another color - rather then painting again. It might be best to just prep and...

Tks !

Good Point on Garage doors - that is why I went with vaulted ceilings !
