Default What 2 post lift do you use?

In the market for a 2 post lift again for home. We have nothing but rotary at work, I don't really want to spend that much. Looking to see what people can drive their lowered car up to and lift without having to stack planks or break out the floor jack.

I was looking at forward i10/revolution rpt10 until I read it's a pain in the *** to lift a corvette with a rear arm that's almost too long, plus you have to stack planks. The other option at a similar price is bendpak.

What's everybody here using?

I have a Bendpak XPR-10AS. I have used it for about 6 years and I can pull a G8 or GTO on without having to drive up on anything.

I'm running a 9k Ammco (wheeltronics) that I bought used for a great deal, I like it, but sourcing parts SUCKS!!!! If I bought this thing new I'd be on the war path with Ammco Coats. It is a very nice unit in all other aspects. I'll second a Bend Pak though, I have a friend with a 9k floor plate model and it has been outstanding, I grew up working on Rotary's and I would say the Bend Pak is a very close second to a Rotary for the price difference.

I have a rotary 9k asymmetrical in my shop. Got it used and it had been sitting outside in the weather for a few years. Had to clean up the hydraulics a little and bought some new equalizing chains and misc junk. But it's been the single best investment, tool wise, I've ever made.

Bend Pak bought it used and ive had it for 12 years or so. No problem with standard f body, even a little lowered wouldnt be an issue.

I had purchased the Atlas OH-10x. In 6'7" so I wanted the highest lift that was still affordable. No issues minus an o-ring failing on a plug on the pump causing oil to drip.

I'm thread digging... I'm about to build a shop & am definitely going the 2-post route. My concern is that my car is lowered on Strano springs, so it's low. If I'm dropping the coin on a lift, I don't want to drive it up on ramps to get under it.

Bendpak offers a low profile lifting arm, but the minimum pad height is actually 0.5" higher than the standard arm...

Anyone have any experience (with any brand) regarding a lowered 4th gen?

I went with a Revolution rtp10, it's the same as one of the older forward lifts. I think Bendpak lists a 4.25" min pad height, my Revolution sits at 3 1/16" or 3 1/8 over the big rivet when using the included round pad. I'll do a video for you,

So, THIS happened.... I came across a guy that opened a DIY Rent-a-Bay place that tanked. They're 5 years old & he said they maybe lifted 2 cars per week.

I would have bought all 3 but didn't get there in time.
