But nobody on this site is going to be ducking under a lift 100 times a week. You can do just about anything with a 4 post that you can do with a 2 post plus you can do exhaust work with the suspension compressed etc. The negative to a 4 post is if you have something like a late model Camaro you can't drop the subframe. You need a 2 post to do that. I worked in a shop for about 6 years that had in ground lifts that had that had the arms you swung around and they were a pain. All this stuff is better now. The sliding jack that I just lifted the front of Jackass with took 4 posts to another level. I can pop a balljoint and work on the suspension at any height I want. With a 2 post I would be down at ground level with the jack on the floor to support the lower control arm. I can see if you are something like a brake shop where you are pulling wheels off every time the car is lifted that a two post would be faster but for the average guy on this site I still think a 4 post is the better way to go and safer.
