My ceilings are 11' 2". Model is from Direct Lift - HR8000. Needs 112" min of head room to fit lift and 135" wide. Bolts to floor need atleast 4" 3000 psi concrete

Nice lift, I lucked out with them having a supplier in Delaware. I just picked it up in my pick up (no freight charge) weighs about 1400lbs.

$1500.00

Add a few hundred more for elec. and hyd. oil and rental fee if you don't own a good hammer drill that can handle a 3/4" bit. Need to drill 10 holes.

Do you pop the hood/doors/trunk when picking it up? I dont know if the same rules for the older vetts apply to the C5.

Be careful!

I saw the thread and looked at the first pic and was thinking...plate?exhaust?, then saw the second pic and thought of must be the rims, they look nice, then saw the third pick and thought I'm such a dumbass...
