Thanks Acer66 and Nikonron!

Thanks. I don’t want it removed because it keeps the slush etc. Out of the third bay.

I have this curb left after removing a dividing wall that we built when the house was new. Would love to hear your thought on options for covering it! I painted it, but it still looks like ****.

I had plates laser cut to address the slope of my garage at the same time. I used a laser level to see what I needed to add at each corner and bought extra long lag bolts to address the thickness of the shims. I used 2.5 inches of shims in the rear. My lift is perfectly level now.

Mean leaned also. Shimmed and bolted down...now perfect.

Thanks guys. Installer comes tomorrow morning. I added another 1/2 inch of plates 0n the low end, so slope is now 2.5 inches. I’m good with that. Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

Thanks Guys...I appreciate the comments. I’m having a pro installer come out this week and will get his input. I think I’ll put another inch or so of spacers to bring it down to 2 inches of slope.

So, I made up some shims to level out my lift before bolting it down. The manual says that the lift should be bolted down if the slope is greater than 1/8 inch per foot which is 1.8 inches between the columns. It doesn't say that the columns need to be raised to eliminate this slope before...

Got the plates powder coated and put some in place today. This set-up gets the front and back posts on the same plane and reduces the slope from front to back to 3 inches. I have more plates, but I’m going to wait until the installer weighs in on whether I need to lessen the slope given that I...

Thanks...I thought about that. I should have enough room even with it 6 inches from the wall.

I'm not concerned with the load on the floor itself. It is the stress cone created by the anchor that is the issue. Too near the edge of the slab and you do not have enough material to handle the stresses and the concrete cracks or breaks away.

I'm just afraid that if I get too close to the edge, the slab will crack or break off.

Hey Tim! Yeah, once the new installer checks it over I will for sure. I’m still pretty pissed off about the whole thing. Too afraid to put the Camaro up there again! How about one of it under the lift!

I had some time yesterday to investigate a little further. I bought a 360 degree laser level and measured the slope at my columns. At the front I have 1/4 inch From the wall column to center column. At the rear it is 3/4 inch wall to center. Front to back slope is 3 3/8 inches between the...

Thanks! Never thought of that. I think I can make that work!
