HI, thanks for the great resources on the c7000 lift. decided to get one especially with these two post

Put an order in on a 2-post portable lift – https://nationalautotools.com/collections/two-post...-auto-lift This is the main website though I bought from a re-seller that is a little less. I can cancel/refund it until I set the shipping/pick up date which I expect to be in a couple months after getting back from a few weeks of picking up the mid-engine subi van and a month to construct and let the pad cure.
This C7000 is a 6ft -72” clearance which is higher than the maxjax of 4ft
Any insight appreciated.

I’ll be constructing an outside pad since I don’t have a shop and the weather is decent to work on things outside most of the year.
What’s cool about this lift is that it can be moved in about 10 minutes. Since I’m putting the pad next to the fence/property line, when not needing the lift, I can move the other post to the fence and have an open pad to use. Also I could move the posts to the front/rear of the van and create a rotisserie thing yet to be designed……Also, if I ever get done with it, I imagine a good resale value since it is portable. If I could find a used one, I would get a used one. Doesn’t seem like folks are selling them once they have them. And I can always move it to a different home or shop since it is portable.
This and some of his subsequent write-ups on this lift are quite good https://alphabronco.blogspot.com/2016/05/lift-is-finally-here.html
This is also cool but maybe next time https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/traile...552/page1/

Buying a portable 2-post... MaxJax vs Universalift vs ?
Pulling the trigger this week. My initial instinct was to go with the MaxJax since it seems to be the most widely chosen. However, I am not all that nuts about the low maximum lift height, and soon after learned about Universalift by NA Auto Equipment, which seems to be more substantial, but...

The Concrete Underground's Guide to Floor Slabs
There have been many GJ discussions on garage slabs but I'm hoping a simple outline will be helpful to those who haven't done a lot of concrete work and are getting ready to place a slab. So let’s lay out the basics that will give the average guy a good shot at a great slab. Base - What’s...
