  • Any suggestions on a 2 post lift?

    I'm running through some options on 2-post lifts to put in a metal building with 12' sides...I'd like to have something that's capable of lifting my truck, which I think weighs around 8,000 lbs. (ford diesel crew 4x4). It would probably be best to go with 10k plus. Any suggestions?

    I have a 15k, lifting my diesel crew cab is still makes me slightly nervous just due to the amount of flex the arms can give while it's up in the air. Id say look at a 15k.

        9k is fine. We have always used them. Just put a screw jack under the hitch to stabilize it.

                        I put this 11K up recently....no concerns putting a truck on it - http://www.bestbuyautoequipment.com/...l2-11k-acd.htm

                        The prices start to go up quite a bit once you get over that 9k-11k range. They make a 12K unit just like mine that's about $1K more.
