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.

You like red heads, I like brunettes. I always used a set of these.

I'll bet you a beer that next time I see you, you will have been in a scenario where you cussed your lift for being in the way or conking your head on it and wished you had a 2 post. Bet?
