I love my 4 post alignment hoist - I park the car on it in the garage with a mirrored wall to watch myself park - Bend Pak

Dick - how tall is the ceiling in your garage? I just finished installing a BendPak 4 post lift and had previously installed a single post lift - so not familiar with 2 post lifts, but I do like the kind where you can drive onto them.

Now that Asa has added some positive and constructive thoughts on this forum, I would like to get some thoughts on a lift I am looking to buy to use in working on my Pantera (more like finally repairing it).

http://www.asedeals.com/store/dannmar-portable-car-lift-maxjax/

The lift has been discussed many times on the forum. However, I would like to get some current information on folks that have installed the lift to work on their Pantera.

As a reference, I have a two car, one double wide door garage that will not accommodate a full height fixed installation lift, or 4 post lift.

Questions/Recommendations

1 - quality issues, such as hydraulic fluid leakage.

2 - vendor response to any product issues.

3 - lift installation problems/techniques.

4 - installation tips that relate specifically to the Pantera, such as it's 40/60 weight distribution.

5 - post tilt under load

6 - distance between posts necessary to allow enough room to open doors to "comfortably" work on the interior. (Yeah, I know that is an oxymoron)

7 - accessory and additional modification recommendations

8 - recs on sources to buy the lift, or not to buy.

Also, are there any other manufacturers to consider with a similar configuration?

Thanks in advance for your input on a car related topic.

Stephen, no room for a 4 poster, and have limited headroom. Even with something like the Dannmar 2 post "portable" lift, i will still have to raise the garage door to get the max 48" lift, which I want so I can at least sit on my work seat under the car. As shown on my rebuild diary on Mike Dailey's site, doing work on the car on jack stands is one big pain in the ass. http://panteraplace.com/page33.htm If I had my druthers, I would prefer the drive-on 4 poster lift. But such is life. Thanks for your comment. Dick Koch - Atlanta On Jun 12, 2016 11:50 PM, "Stephen" <steve@snclocks.com> wrote:
