Have you priced a new one? If I recall correctly, a SPOA9 is a 9,000lb lift. I'm not sure, but I don't think my Rotary lift was much more than that when it was new. (and it was installed)
If it is installed per spec, it should lift 9,000lbs.
I agree very long vehicles are probably handled better on a 4-post (or other non-asymmetrical) lift.

They don't make the 9 any more. The SPAO10 is about $4k just delivered. I know its 20 years old but made in USA and can still get parts for it. My dilemma is the length of the truck and the arms of the lift. Looking for someone that has done it.If not I need to look at other options.

I have that one in asymetrical and it was used on my 80 chevy dually 454 not issues and I lift my 2000 dodge 2500 diesel no problem well made and I like the flip up legs on the end of the arms. I think I paid 1500 about 12 years ago. was like new. never missed a beat not sure it is worth that much know maybe 1200 or less

It will do your chevys, but will be "sketchy". Safety stands in back required if you start doing stuff like removing tires ad beating things with hammers
Will be *** heavy as the rear arms will have to be on flat of frame, and won't make it to spring hangers
That's y I have a pair of spo12's. Nothing is "sketchy" on them, even crew cab dump trucks or 16 passenger people hauler busses
