Default Rotary Two Post Lift

Ordered a Rotary Two post lift today which will be the finishing touch to my garage project..

Anyone have one? How do you like it?

I'm pouring cement in two weeks and figure I should wait a month before installing the lift.

Just looking for any feedback!

I have a four post lift. I like it better because I can move it around the garage with or without the car on it.

I have three of them in my shop, hope you don't have any problems with them. I've had problems with two of mine and they don't stand behind them like they say they do. If you install it yourself it only as a one year warranty not the three year warranty as they say. good luck

Flying Ace,
Good luck with your 2 post lift. I purchased a 4 post revolution lift (Rotary) from a sponsor here. X-AutoProducts Barry is a great guy to deal with. I am in the process of purchasing a high capacity versalift (Rotary) from him now. His customer service is top notch along with price and delivery. If you have any concerns or questions try asking Barry. I am sure he will be more then happy to help you.

I thought about the four post for just that reason. The jacks are expensive as hell though.

I figure I can do anything with a two post (except storage) because of everything being accessible.

I went with the asymetrical as well so I can work on it with the doors open.

I thought of that too. I cut 4 4x4 pieces of wood to the right lenght. I lower the car very slowly down on the posts and place the jackstands under the car. Raise the lift back up and the jackstand sit perfectly in the right spot. Lowering it is just the reverse. Works great and cost less.
