Direct lift 4 post

[roadster71]

Anybody own one? If so, what is your opinion?

 

[Dakota00]

I've owned one for about 1.5yrs now, great lift no complaints!

I've had mine about 3 years and am very happy with it. No problems at all. I would recommend the bridge jack. Really helps to do suspension and brake work. Good luck and enjoy!

Not a four post, but I have a direct lift motorcycle lift, I've used and abused it, still works flawlessly.

I have one. Very happy for the price

I have owned mine for 6 years or so with no problems at all. Best investment in the shop I ever made. Get the rolling bridge jacks with it.

^Feel exactly as buzz4041...my best shop investment...get the rolling jacks.

I have had a Direct lift for about 7 years with no problems. The bridge jack is a good idea.

I've got both a Direct Lift and a BendPak. The BendPak is definitely a higher quality lift but the Direct Lift had been fine. I do like that the Direct Lift does not require air pressure to release the locks.

I had a Direct-Lift installed earlier this year and very happy with it. The slide jack is a must.

Thanks all for the quick replies.

I have had mine for a few months and love it!

There has been a lot of responses which is good but with all the different models available which one/ones are we talking about?

 

[roadster71]

Pro park 8s

Pro park 9. It was vary easy to assemble, took about 2 hours. Very heavy duty. I also went back and purchased a rolling jack. Would recommend it to anyone.

Pro Park 9. I liked the wide width between posts. No regrets, went together nicely.

I'm looking into 4 posts right now as well, I have a 2 post from direct lift, and I like it, but I also see where the savings are.

That being said, for the 4 post I can't seem to get solid information about the ramp lengths. On the Bendpak my friend has they are only 20" measured from ramp to floor. The Direct lift lists 36". My car is really low, and it's an important detail to me.

Does the direct lift have 36" long ramps that go up how high"? 5" to get onto the deck?

Also any good pictures of the bridge jack? is it Pneumatic, and require air? or are they more of the pump jack style?

I have a four post Direct Lift pictured previously, the yellow Corvette and Avanti. My ramp length is actually 33 inches. I have no problem with clearance for the Corvette with room to spare. The bridge Jack and is hydraulic using a handle to pump. Works easily for my needs. When I first got it the pump leaked and Direct Lift shipped another immediately.

I have the Propark 8 for 7 yrs now and just installed the 12k two post two months ago and already put it to use while the garage is still under work...

Can't answer your question but I came across these a few days ago, they might help solve your approach problem if you opt for a lift... Alternatively, I just use a 2 foot 2x12 to extend the approach if need be.

I use race ramps for my direct lift. The extra length is nice, but mostly because the stock steel ramps weigh a ton.

 

[Xander]

Thanks for the quick replies. I think the race Ramps will be the answer. I was just looking for something that works well. I need Ramps to get my car into the 2 post I have now, if that gives you any idea of how low my cars are. I guess it's time to invest in air suspension....
