There will probably be some show special pricing at SEMA.

I have a four post and a two post from Direct. Will be getting a second four post this week. Great way to free up floor space in my shop. Much less than the estimate I got to put on an addition.

I've had a BendPak for several years. Bought from an Ebay vendor who also carried the Danmar. I don't remember exactly what I paid. Did the install myself (by myself using a hoist). Mine is the 10,000lb with the canted posts and operates on 220/240. Was easy to setup/install and has worked flawlessly.

I have had a Directlift for approx. 5 yrs. with no problems. The price was better than most others and when I saw that SW (Streetking) used Direct in his personal garage for his expensive toys, I was convinced that was the way to go.

Another thing to consider is the cost of the accessories. My dad got a 4 post a couple years ago at Hot August Nights. Got a great deal on the display unit. Negotiated in 4 plastic slider trays and 2 metal slider trays. These are the trays that fit inbetween the two ramps.

In his research he found that the cost for these items vary quite a bit. Other things like bottle jacks, oil drain stands, tranny jacks, ect are sold by many of the vendors that you may want to try to negotiate into a package price.

I bought an Atlas 2 post lift from Greg Smith Equipment and can vouch for it's quality and the company's support. I would buy an Atlas and from GSE again if needed.

I have a BendPak. A 4post isn't the greatest for working if you need to remove tires, but I love mine for other service and storage use. Mine is a high and wide version, and I have no problem parking a full-size lifted PU on 35" tires under it.

If you want to park a full size truck under it, make sure it is wide enough to get between the posts without folding the mirrors.

I have a forward 12,000 lb that I purchased used. It's an older left but t works great and is very sturdy.
While researching lifts several years ago.There was a guy on one of the forums that suggested to all not to get any lift that is not certified. I don't recall the particulars. However, I remember there were horror stories.
Good luck with whichever brand you get.
