After researching the different 4-post lifts, I purchased the one from AutoLifters. It has been used almost every day for five years with absolutely no problems. It is a great lift.

He said they will soon be updating their web site & they just recently became the exclusive lift sponsor w/Barrett-Jackson. If the lift is good enough for me, it should be good enough for Barrett-Jackson.

Their website shows the E-lift is $1995. Our lift is the SR 7H model & we paid $3100 for it 4 yrs ago. I think it's good that they offer an economy lift for those who don't want to pay more for buying an 'all American' product.

Also check the Autolifters site for specials.
I ordered an M6 in July and I think the price was $2295. After getting drip trays, a jacking tray, and shipping it was around $2700. They sent some wrong parts and some of the pieces (lock handle collar) were incorrectly machined (not tapped for the screws), but with a phone call they sent out the correct stuff via quick shipping.

and the shipping to Cali would cost me an additional $480. 
So even though I love this lift, I don't think I'll be buying one anytime soon.

hmmmm damn 8 weeks lead time.
I was checking out other threads and saw that spreadsheet (posted here earlier) about Rotary having the only certified 7000# 4 post lift. I do not know how much the Rotary SM7 lift is yet, but like the cert. LOL and I thought I had it narrowed down between Superior and Autolifters. Now it is Superior, Rotary and Eagle (maybe)

Thank you all for the great info. Now I really have a headache. I am just starting this process of buying a 4 post lift. Seems there is a lot of BS marketing going on with these distro's. BB and Revolution seem to be the safest. I will post when I make my decision.

I've been looking over every 4 post lift out there, and I just ordered a Bend-Pak HD-9 yesterday. Should be here in around 10 days, $2425 including shipping. ($2739 including 3 metal drip trays and a jack tray)
Will post pics after I have it up.
