    Unfortunately I Need A New 4 Post Lift

    If you move to a wider, longer lift your bridge jack may not fit, it would be to narrow to fit between the ramps. Also ramp designs differ between brands, the jack may not be compatible with all designs. Just an observation from your post. I have a BendPak and if I were to replace it I would...

    Heating the floor or no?
