Does anyone buy a lift with just the arms to hold the car, so the wheels hang? I have been considering this as i want to work on the car and remove the wheels with ease. But don't want to lose the possibility of stacking cars for storage.

I've seen a few guys around that use a 2 post and I'm sure you stack cars without any problems. A number of people have told me to go with a 2 post because pulling tires and doing brakes are a lot easier then with a drive one but I really want the ability to do things with weight on the wheels. I've worked on both types of lifts and really like the drive on. It's really just a preference thing I guess.

Two post lift needs to be permanently mounted to the floor, whereas many 4 post hobbyist lifts do not have to be permanently mounted and come with rollers so you can move them around. Also, many two post lifts require 6 inch thick concrete floors, whereas with a 4 post hobbyist lift you can get by with 4 inch thick concrete floors. There are solutions if your floor is not 4 inches thick. Like another poster above, I have the rolling bridge jacks on my 4 post lift. They run in a channel along each track so I can get all 4 wheels off the track if I need to. If I had 6 inch thick floors, I would have considered a 2 post lift. But I am extremely pleased with my 4 post lift.

I'm jealous of you guys, I really screwed myself when I bought my house six years ago. (Barely) two car garage, relatively low ceiling, and no room to expand. All I can do is dream of a job transfer.

Is it bad to leave the suspension unweighted for long periods of time like you would have on a 2 post lift?
Do you know why 6 inches is required? If a car can sit on the concrete with 4 inches, why not on a lift? Weight distribution maybe?
