Good comparison. Are you getting one?

Most of the 4 posters have "jacking kits" that allow suspension and wheel work.

Wow, lot's of info, I've had my Double Park for 6 or 7 years now.

Top notch. But you do have to adjust it ocassionally, so it "keeps in tune"

Best tool I ever bought!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went lift shopping several months ago and went with a chalenger lift. They have an option called the Versa Lift where you have the best of symetrical and asymetrical. Love the lift. There are allot of crap lifts out there. David

I purchased a M80 from Autolifters last April. The M80 was not listed in your chart. It has 8000 lb. Lifting capaciity and 6' 4" under rail clearance. It makes a nice place to keep my 68 Vette up and out of the way.
Nice comparison :cheers:
