Started cutting concrete for 2 post lift.

Picked up a Bendpak XPR-10S. The concrete was cracked around where the post would go so out it comes. Following Mohawks guide for concrete size and rebar structure. Going to starting digging it out tomorrow.

after consulting with a structural engineer, I put my 10K lift on a 6" slab with 4'X4'X18" footings under the slab where the lift goes. I had re-bar and welded wire in the slab and put a grid of rebar down in the footing. Part 2 of my build video explains it a little better visually.

Make sure you drill into your existing slab, drill and epoxy in some sections of rebar into the old cut slab. Then tie the rebar for the new pour to those pieces. You can find info on the interwebs and then there is this post on GJ as well:

Hey man, I'm out in Seattle as well. I have the cement cut and extracted for my lift but haven't 100% finalized how I'm going to do the rebar and pour though. Where did you go for your revolution? Sounds like you got a deal on yours...wouldn't mind some details

PM sent. I went with Vehicle Equipment Solutions. The owners sells and installs the lifts and he is local to me. I have had to call him on a couple of times since the install (minor latch cable stretch and bolt torque values) and he was really quick to respond and helpful.

We followed Mohawks guide exactly. 4' x 14' X 12" concrete, rebar grid, and rebar epoxied into the current slab. Ready to pour concrete next week. Used a core drill to get the corners nice and round
