Best 4 post lift for the C7??
Need recommendations for a 4 post lift that's good for a standard 2 car garage. Please post pics and a small review if it works great for your C7. Thank you!

What ever CO you go thur should make a lift that is taller & wider then a what everyone calls a standard size in how wide they are.
I got the standard size and wish now I had paid a little more and got the wider one. Robert

There are several good lifts. Did a lot of research and ended up buying a BendPak HD-7W for the C7. Liked it so well, I purchased another one when we picked up a C3. I like them because they're high quality, hidden cables, air lock stops, etc. Some like the lever type stops, but I prefer the air. You can get 110 or 220v. I got 220 because I already had it in both sides of the garages. The 'W' is for 'wide', and as already pointed out, I'm glad I got the wider ones. A little more expensive than some, but as my parents always said, "when you buy quality you only wince once".
Hope this helps!

What are you going to be doing with it ? I'm asking because a two post lift is superior in basically every way, except for the hassle of positioning the lift arms.

I have both, the 4 post is for parking/storage. The 2 post is for everything else.
Both cost about the same around $2700 the 4 post is the extra tall and wider version as my shop has 14' walls.

Very nice...if I could ask, how tall are the ceilings in your garage where you have the C3 over the Caddy? That looks similar to what I've wanted to do, but have a fairly low ceiling compared to some of the other garage pics in this thread that have plenty of overhead room.

Good thread. What I've learned is there is a difference between a Lift and a Jack. I came in assuming the lift was the jack, but you guys actually have car lifts. I'm looking to get a good quick jack, but these lifts look awesome and useful. Not sure how to change tires with the lift though.

I'm more about service than storage, so I went with a 2-post. I took the extra time to run all the cables and lines underground so there is no overhead connection and nothing to drive over as well.
I have a Mohawk A7 (made in America for less crushing of me) and like it because they're OSHA certified and so on.
Just wish I could get someone to come out and service/check it, the local dealer is gone now.

Best garage item that I have at $2,500.00 delivered and installed.
Rated 7k lbs and gives me a way to store and work on my 79Z/28 and 2019Z06.
My garage is about 4' deeper on that side and is 10'-8"high.
