Good to know. I am checking the torque after every use and they are all fine but the one that never grabbed...I am trying to find a shop that sells longer anchors individually but I am having no luck.

Now you saying that the post does not visibly move worries me about this lift. Anybody think I should call a professional installer to check this out?

I think I am good to go with the placement. It just gets confusing because they show the front arms at almost 90.

The Crack is about 8"away. I did put the supplied shims under the post to get them plumb. I was told to possibly full the void with some leveling concrete.,not sure if that would help calm down the post wobble. It actually seems like it's the metal that is flimsy, because it is not moving...

I would have researched my dumb *** contractor more. He came in with a bid lower than the rest with the same scope, but as the project was in play all of a sudden things stared to change. Get everything in writing and if you don't agree with something...say something, if the contractor does...

Video with me jumping...

Here are some pics of the base.

Only one bolt won't torque. I did have to use shims under the post...no more than a 1/4 inch though. It's kind of like the base plate is bowed, not in the floor. I drilled down at least 7" and it was all concrete. The columns are still plumb.

Floating slab poured in two sections. Each section is 30x15. I was suppose to have steel in it but the damn contractor changed it on me. So it is at least 8" thick fiberglass reinforced, he said he poured more where I was installing the lift but was probably lying. The control joints were...

Well I am officially worried. I had to lift the jeep to the top to get underneath and when I lowered it on to the safety locks I felt the jolt in the floor. ..and that was slowly lowering it. I waited for the antenna to stop moving and jumped up and down right next to the post and actually...

Got me a digital torque wrench and set them all to 80(manual says 60-80). One bolt is pulling out, I am going to get a 7" bolt instead of the 5-1/4....hopefully that will take. When I say columns move, it is very subtle. That is also with the jeep one safety lock below the highest lock. I...

Now here is another silly question...does anyone have any movement in the columns? Specifically when dropping the vehicle onto the locks? I really appreciate all the responses, this garage has been based around a lift and I hate thinking I made a bad decision on it.

Is that a wide setup by any chance? I had to position the truck father back to get the front arms on the lift points...my trick actually has arrows pointing to the point on the frame rail. I really don't think this wide setup is okay to be using. Front arms are maxed out in these pics. I...

I wish I had some scales to tell the weight on each arm. ..

2011 crew cab with 5.5 box. i mainly set it wide because it is my main parking stall. wanted it easier to get in and out every day.

yea i am definitely getting two screw jacks after seeing the f150 up there...i am now also thinking about reconfiguring the setup to the standard instead of the wide. i can barely hit the lift points on the truck...and that's with it farther back behind the post then it seems it should be.

i am just saying the video that Greg Smith equipment has on YouTube about the placement with this kind of lift.

okay...the one video says front tires just past the column.

i am suppose to be able to position the cars asymmetric or symmetrical...but something does not seem right. i got the wide version which i now found out is limiting how far forward the Jeep can be pulled ahead if the column...i thought the arms extended further. i am going to try the f150 and...

mustang is doing the same thing. i did move the 2005 Jeep grand cherokee forward a bit and spread the arms out as far as they would go but it still wobbles. it's been a while since i was around a lift and i am not sure how much movement i should expect...it seems like it is in the arms, the...
