For future reference... when I bought both of my advantage 4 post lifts, they delivered and installed them in central NJ.

Another vote for the advantage SS11000 - I have a replacement knee and both shoulders so crawling on the ground to place the arms on a 2 post is a problem for me. I ordered the SS11000 along with 2 air bridge jacks. It handles my mustangs, F150's and ccsb F350 SRW with ease. I had to order a...

If you opt to drain the lines, don't forget the water lines to any fridges with an ice maker or the lines to a dishwasher...

I have a similar problem with one of my lifts, barely wider than the tires on my cars... I bought a free standing tilting mirror on amazon and I keep it next to the edge of the ramp on the driver side so I can see exactly where the tire is in relation to the edge of the ramp. Plus it's portable...

The only suggestion I can give you is whatever number you come up with, move the wall 2 feet further and add a mulch or rock bed between the driveway and the wall.... gives you room to miss without getting into expensive repairs. I couldn't make my driveway wider due to impervious lot coverage...

Trust me, you won't have an issue with 'normal' vehicles and 4 inch concrete. I had (2) 4 post lifts in my previous garage. When we broke it up to build the new garage, we found a bunch of spots where the "builder special" floor was barely 3 inches thick and never had a problem in 20 years...

Did just that last year. Knocked off the 2 car side entry garage and turned it onto a front entry 3 car garage with 12 foot side walls and the center 20 feet is a 15 foot ceiling. With (2) 4 post lifts in the old 20x24, couldn't walk anywhere without walking into a column, nowhere to work on...

Interesting, I have the same lift and a 2018 CCLB F350 and with the 1/2 inch pads, it clears underneath by about 3/8 inch. Your tremor must be slightly taller.

You could do something like 9 foot walls and collar ties at 12 which means the ceiling at the front and back walls will be 10 sloping up to 12. That should give you I'm guessing the front to back center ceiling of 12 feet for 10 feet depending on the roof slope? From your previous pictures it...

Went through something similar last summer. Tore off our 2 car side entry garage and had it rebuilt into a front entry 3 car. Stored all 4 of my "toy" cars offsite at a relatives property. Completely filled a 24 foot v nose car trailer with tools and boxes, took apart both of my 4 post lifts...

We hired a construction company to handle the project soup to nuts other than I had plans drawn up beforehand. They in turn hired all sub contractors. We called 7-8 different contractors to price the job. 3 called us back, 2 showed up to look at it. They were the only company to call me...

Not sure if these help but my garage is similar to your 3 car wide. It's 36 wide, 1 bay 26 deep, the other 2 are 28 deep. The gable is on the front, collar ties running left to right are at 16 feet, outer walls are 12 ft. 3 9x9 doors. 3 lifts, outer 2 bays are used for car storage, center...

If it helps, I have the Advantage 11K. I've had my F350 crew cab long bed on it a couple of times and it didn't blink. I have 2 of the air bridge jacks and they really come in handy. Keep an eye out, they occasionally have sales. I got the 'fathers day special' which took 1K off. I ordered...

After 5 years of looking at the same type of question and fighting with the zoning officer, I went 3 car wide 28 feet deep, gable on the front. 12 foot side walls and collar ties at 16 feet in the center 20 feet. I have (3) 4 post lifts and I can get 6 cars in. I can finally walk around and...

One thing to also consider, a 4post with wheels is moveable. You can place it anywhere you want in the garage and if you decide you want to move it, you can, something that is not an option with a 2 post. I seriously considered a 2 post in the center bay of my new garage but I am simply not...
