4 post lift options - Page 3 - Lateral-g Forums

I had a 4 post --- for about a week.... THEY SUCK! Storage only. If you want to work on your car - get an Asymmetric frame lift. It can store your car just as well... and you can actually work on something if you want to.

No "opinion" here <-----------

Finally the voice of reason.

SW has a few and that guy has nothing but really nice stuff. I'd ask him.

Backyard Buddy w/Casters here. Having used both, I greatly prefer the stability of the 4-post over the two-post...I have really never had any problem doing anything that I wanted to do, on the four-post.

I wish you'd get out there and start using it -- so you can get that project on the road!!

I have a few 4 posts.( http://www.kennan.ab.ca/lifts.html ) Local dealer.

Mostly for storage, they work great. The casters supplied are shat and don't roll with it loaded. Besides that no complaints.

For working on the car I think I like the two post a little better. Being able to move the lift was a big priority for me so the four post became a obvious choice. Have yet to run into a situation working on a car that I thought they sucked?

They sure beat a creaper.

Let's say you are swapping lower control arms or a complete rear end. The jacks like Charley pictured really get in the way for anthing but an alignment. For a novice that does very little large projects, then I agree that the 4 post is probably best.

and I was upgrading from a creeper. I kind of agree with Todd so I'm lucky to have two post access when ever I need it.
