Sorry to beat a dead horse but I couldnt find a specific answer and model. I have a 10' ceiling garage and looking for a 4 post for under $3500 shipped. What lift have you garage guys used?

I have no regrets on my Eagle lift and would recommend.

I got an Atlas with center jacks. It was just over 4k with the center jacks which were $750 each ( 2 required). Ebay seller Greg Smith here is a link to a similar one

I have this lift and it works great.

Before I bought my Z06 I had one of their 2 post lifts and it worked great as well but it was a PITA get get my corvette on it so I sold it and bought a 4 post.

Pretty easy to setup. I put it together by myself with the help of a harbor freight engine hoist to move it around.

You can also find the sliding jacks a little cheaper. They are all made by the same Chinese company and just painted different colors. Here is an example:http://www.asedeals.com/store/workho...ge-jack-sj-35/ or https://www.bestbuyautoequipment.com...5.htm?CartID=1

Not sure why the pic I posted is sideways but my ceilings are 10' and as you can see I can fit my car and my wife's in there for winter storage. It is also strong enough that I can use it for my Navigator when I need to lift it off its wheels.

Direct Lift with two sliding jacks so I can work on the car.

Thats a few good lifts to compare. I will evaulate the ones listed so far and see which is the better deal. From what all I can tell, just like most brands, they are built in a single shop and branded diffrent in most cases. To get the lift and jacks for my price range would be very ideal. Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated.

Bought two Bend Pak 9,000 lb lifts this year. Just under $3,000 delivered to the nearest freight terminal or to your house for a small extra charge. At that price point I thought the engineering and choices looked the best to me. For an extra $400 you can get 4 foot long aluminum approach ramps in addition to the standard 3 foot long steel ramps. Allows our low cars to clear even when driven front first onto the lift ramps.
The HD-9 is my favorite due to the wider spacing between ramps.

I bought the aluminum ramps with my Direct lift, really makes a big difference and my Z07 goes on and off with no problems.

Too-Fast,

Any close-up shots of the car on the sliding jacks? I have the same lift and wanted to add those.

How easy/hard is it to get the car on the sliding jacks?

FYI My ceilings are 9' and the lift didn't work for my other two sports cars until I cut a hat into the ceiling. At 10' lower sports cars will work but not everything. Due to the hat requirement and the long rear hatch on my Z06 I'm not sure it will go on top or not, I have not tried it yet. On the jacks you lessen how high the lift can go so if this is for storage beware. My garage door also had to be re-routed to clear hoods and a side mount opener used. Good luck!

No closer shots, sorry. Getting the car on the sliding jacks is super easy, very glad I got both jacks because the entire car can be lifted, as you can see I have all 4 wheels off to facilitate a brake fluid power flush.

THIS, PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS BEFORE BUYING.. You must take into account the garage door in most cases over the car and the thickness of what the car is sitting on (floor/ramp) As stated above, I have a BMW 435i which is low, I literally have 3/4" clearance between the bottom of ramp and top of car and 1/2" between top of Corvette and ceiling. Inhale a 76 Corvette I had to let air out of tires to fit. PIA.

Great info, I had a high lift track with lift master 8500 installed when building the house. My garage is 27' deep so my plan was to move the car closer to the back wall.

Have been well satisfied with mine from American Custom Lifts.

My garage door uses a Liftmaster side opener with "high lifted" guide rails and 11' ceilings. I can walk under my car and I am 6'5". I use Race Ramps with my 4 post Bendpack HD-9. They only a few pounds each and simple to install and remove.

Had the same lift for a couple of years now, works great.

I called some places and actually went to order the eagle lift. After freight($700), I decided to go with the bendpac hd9 from northern tool. It was 2895 with free shipping, in addition they had a $200 gift card for any purchase over $1000.

Eagle is a great 4 post lift for the money. Less than $2300 delivered to a freight depot. Can be assembled by three people. 220 volt pump (much faster than 110v). Aluminum Ramps, Casters, Drip Trays, Jack Tray included in the price.



Two Corvettes, 10 foot ceiling.
