There are alot of places that sells them, advance auto does too. I wanted a place that deals with lifts and if I have any questions can ask. I have had great luck so far.

Putting a lift in my garage was the best car mod I ever did. Granted, it's a 4-post, so it's not as easy to pull an engine, but for most everything else, including suspension, it's a lifesaver compared to laying on your back on the cold floor.



During the summer, my daily driver stays outside and I leave the lift in the air and park the T/A under it.


But during the winter, the T/A hibernates and the daily driver stays inside.

Looks great, how high are your ceilings, mine are 10 foot. It takes a bit to get used to to going under the 2 post but now I am used to it. Your garage must also be deeper than mine. I have a 20x20 garage so I had to pick something small.

My ceiling was only 9ft, but I don't have anything above it, so I lofted just the one side up to 12ft. The actual size of my garage is only 19x20. The lift is only 16ft long if memory serves me correct. It's definitely a tight fit, but it works.

One day I'd love to put a third garage on the house and make it 24x16 and move the lift into there, but for now this works.

Congrats on your setup, it looks like it works well for you.
