Forward DP10A and I10

[2000xpsd]

Getting ready to buy a lift, was going to get a xpr10 but was also looking at Forward...does anyone know what the diff is between the dp10a and the i10? The i10 says heavy duty and the dp10 says light duty...but yet they are pretty much the same price. Curious if anyone knows what the deal is with these models

Not sure about the difference.
I can say the limiting factor I've discovered with an I10 is the 2-stage rear arm.
Even at the shortest setting, I have to move my Vette and van back well beyond a center of lift to just get the rear pad in the frame correctly.
I'm wondering if there is a lift with three stage front AND rear arms and a 10k lift.
Thought I had it all figured out but the I10 is a pita on my car/van.
It's perfect for the 3/4ton truck.

dp10a has optional height extension, low profile arms, and has a closed loop hydraulic system so any leaking fluid goes back into resirvoir tank, and it is probably the us made version or still has the resemblance of my older US made version. the DP09A
