Car Lift / Which one did you pick
OK all , I have been looking at redoing my garage. I am on a garage forum but I would like to know what Mustang owners have for a lift in there garage.
Please respond with the Type of Lift.. 2 post, 4 post, scissor etc.
Why you choose the type of lift.
Manufacture of the lift.
Thank you.
I am wanting a lift but i am having a hard time choosing which one.

4-posts are good for stacking cars, but the 2-post is easier to use for working on the car. I'll be getting the 2-post because I don't have any desire to create storage space above one of the cars--I'll be building the garage big enough to accommodate whatever cars need inside storage to begin with (that and my wife has told me I can't have any more toys than what will fit in the garage).

I have a 4 post Bendpak and have been looking to add a 2 post. I'll have to build a shop for that but if your gonna work on the car extensively the 2 post is better. The 4 post works great for exhaust or oil changes and some other stuff but getting the wheels of the ground and the restriction of not being able to work underneath the car where the runners block in a 4 post is a hassle.
I originally got my 4 post for storage and that's what it does mostly. But also for oil changes and anything else I could do. It's also pretty good for waxing the car. I can raise the car and stand there while i was the sides or rockers.

A garage is also not necessary. Lots of shops around here have extra lifts outside on slabs. It's actually pretty nice as long as it's not raining. Lol. Most of them are powder coated and just keep the cables and moving parts greased up. The control panel and motor are usually sealed anyways. They will last a very long time out in the weather. Just another option guys.

There are alot of people on the GJ that have had BendPack buy there lifts back. Seems there not as good as they use to be. Looking at Challenger now.
Any more thoughts?

Challenger was recently purchased by Snap-On and you might be able to get a good deal from a Snappy dealer. I've heard good things about Challenger. I've had no experience with one though.
