Check the Yellow Pages for "automotive equipment"..... These companies sometimes have used lifts (to save some money), do installs and can give advice on what to buy given the amount of room. BTW 2-post is the way to go....

You need 4000lb cement 4-6" thick.
Mohawk is the best of the best and the most expensive.
I think Bend pak is a good safe alternative to a Mohawk.
If you're not in a rush Mohawks come up on craigslist but they go quickly.

What are you using the lift for? I use mine to "store" my TA in the winter. I also do work as it has a jack tray. Wheel work is a little different but most all work can be done. I can pull a trans in 2 hrs by myself with a tall jack. I had mine shipped from Greg Smith equipment.

2 post all the way. I prefer Forward hoists and really like the dual symmetrical hoist they have out. I work off two Mohawk hoist every day at work right now and hate them after having a Forward.

Mohawk lifts are $$$. I was looking at Benpak and Mohawk lifts until I found the price sheet for Mohawk.
