Default 2 post lift

Anyone have any good or bad experiences using a 2 post lift on the Vette? The 2 post will solve a space problem and be able to also lift a F250 Super cab. I'm not too wild about lifting the C4 at the jack points but a 4 poster to fit an extended cab/8' bed is too long the way the garage had to be designed.

When I had new tires installed recently, my car wouldn't fit on the two poster at the tire shop! There was just no way the pads on the hoist would fit under all four lifting points on the car at the same time - the lifting points were too close together (front to rear). The mechanic finally had to just lift the car two wheels at a time, front first, then rear.

If you buy a hoist - make sure it will fit.
