All good news for me, thanks. I'd like the extra width but with my limited amount of room I'm pretty much confined to standard. At least at this point I'm fairly thin if things get cramped. Subarus, explorer & F150 is what I'll be working on. The F150 is a 88 4x4 standard cab 8 ft bed is the most awkward on a lift as far as positioning. That's where the symmetrical arm setup I think is best. Would go for OH-10 if $ was no object but is a $1500 difference & I'm far under the 9k weight for what I have. Glad to hear you've had a 3/4 on yours.I've had the OH-9 for a few years now and I haven't had any issues with it. I'm a hobbyist with small kids, so it might sit for a couple weeks then get used a few times over a weekend, then sit for a while. I'm not using it near as much as a commercial shop. I find the symmetric/asymmetric arms helpful as I am working on everything from a Miata to a 3/4 ton truck. Asymmetric is helpful with the Miata as the wheelbase is too short for the symmetric setup, but with the arms in symmetric position I can park a full width car trailer in the bay. If you are working on short wheelbase vehicles, I would recommend getting the extra width option. I have it and the arms are almost at minimum extension to hit the lift points on the Miata
Just the fronts are 3 stage. I don't believe AMGO offers 3 stage arms on any of their lifts, at least in the 9-10k range. Other manufactures do but are a lot more $$I’m not familiar with this particular lift. Are both the front and rear arms three stage?
