    Can You Shorten The Columns on a 4 Post Direct Lift or BendPak?

    Back from the dead. The local Direct Lift dealer was at the GoodGuys show a few weeks ago and one of his helpers that day was a guy who installs lifts and other equipment for dealerships.

    Can You Shorten The Columns on a 4 Post Direct Lift or BendPak?

I have approximately 75 inches of clear height with the garage door open. My first thought was to cut the slab for each column and lower the slab 6 to 8 inches for...

    Then again, you could have read the specs on the unit and measured the cars before placing an order and not been disappointed.

    Tite-Reach Extention Wrench

    I've had a couple of them in various sizes for about five years or so. They work very well in a number of situations where a regular socket extension puts the ratchet in a knuckle busting position. I like to use them to remove header bolts from cylinder heads. On my SVT Focus I'm able to rotate...
