uplifting experience...
I've installed my Bend-Pak 4-post lift, got it on the Friday before Memorial Day, and installed it over that weekend. I had help from my son-in-law, brother and an engine hoist, all very much needed as this equipment literally weighs in at a ton+ with the RJ. I got it to the house Friday night, unloaded and broke down the package and then started the install on Saturday. On Sunday we ran the air lines and finalized the electrical hook up, and with additional help from my son-in-law, got it dialed in. Last weekend was the first time I used it to put Corsa sport exhaust on the '04, then today got the '69 up for the first time and pulled the '04 underneath. It makes me a little nervous but I've just got to learn to trust the lift!

Nope, got the caster set so I can move it around. My original intent was to install it with the power unit towards the wall, but after hooking it all up, I'm going to rotate it 180 degrees so the power unit is easier to access. Plus, if there is a disaster, I can get out of the way more readily.

very nice!
but; like you, I'd be very nervous having my C5 under another car....
I'd probably have four extra hydralic jacks, supporting the lift mechanism..... somehow, in case of some kind of failure...???
