Folks, Do any of you have opinions on what might be a better lift for general shop personal use (regular vehicles - just cars and trucks): an Atlas 412, 12000 lb. four post or a Bend Pak , HD9xw. I know the Atlas is a larger hoist and will lift a bit more than the BP, but I'm looking for some...

I know this may sound elementary, but I would like some opinions on whether I'll have any trouble lifting my diesel Dodge Ram 2500 (regular cab) with a Bend Pac HE-9xw? The tag on the door of my pickup says it's 8800 lbs GVW. I have a fiberglass canopy on it and always have a few tools in the...
