2 post lift

Finally pulled the trigger and could not be happier. Nothing makes working on my car more fun to do then not having to lie on the floor any more.
Atlas 10k lift….3000 delivered and installed.

Looks great. My dad just HAD to have a lift for the garage. He bought one and had it delivered. It's been sitting outside since it was delivered 15 years ago because he would have had to cut some holes in the ceiling. One day I might get it put in lol.

Nice, but isn't it gonna be a little tight getting passenger side wheels off? Looks like you had the space to move the lift 3-4 feet off the wall.

There is a good 3 feet between the car and the wall….wanted enough room on the left for another car.

I have about 3' of space between my lift and wall. So far it's been enough room. Your shelving looks pretty beefy.

Your car looks nasty with those big rear meats hanging there. Very nice car and garage!

Love those shelves….had them in a garage in Dallas as well. Same type as Home Depot and Lowe's has. The center cross bars are cut short and re welded to fit.

Wish I had that ceiling height! That is nice. I had my 2 poster against the wall like that due to space limitations like you. Always wish I had more to move the lift over but I made do. Those shelves are killer. Nice setup and any car with wheelie bars is

When installing a two post lift. You need a concrete slab no thinner than 4 inches. And the post's have to be at least a minimum of 12 inches from any crack or seam. I have installed a few of these throughout the years . last summer my brother and I had to move our shop and we had to disassemble the bendpak that wew have. Insadently, next saturday
