Dang I wish I had that kind of room. Mine is about 20X20 with 11 foot ceilings so that kind of limited my choices. EWither way yo uare going to be happy with a lift. The best tool I have ever owned.

Default I like my two post!

I've got a Mohawk A7 Two post lift. I love it. I've dropped the driveline from my '00 and picked the body off my '72 with it.

As far as safety, most dealerships use two post lifts. If you use common sense it works great.
