    Thoughts on BendPak Round vs Square Lift Pads

    Does anyone have insight on why the round lift pads would be a better option than the square ones. The rounds are a bit smaller, as can be seen in the pic. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    will my 2500HD Fit on this 4 post lift?

    I have an '02 Chevy 2500HD extended cab and am wondering if anyone has the Danmar D7 four poster and has parked the same truck on their lift.

    Working With a Four Post Lift

    So here's the big question; for those of you who have a four-poster, is it easy to do brake/suspension/exhaust work? I am definitely leaning toward a four post but I do all of my own brake work and would like to be able to use the lift to work on any suspension/exhaust/****** issues too. What...

    Heater Sizing For Upstate NY

    I just built a 32' x 36' garage with a 12' ceiling. I insulated the foundation with foam board (r-11), the walls are r-21, and the ceiling is r-38. There is a 125k BTU Reznor F series for sale locally that I can get for a steal. The problem is I don't want to oversize. The unit is natural...
