Reversing arms on 2 post lift and backing in versus pulling into garage

Depends on the hoist. Asymmetrical hoists are designed to lift one way. Good luck.

That would be mine. I can swap the arms around and do it..... I have always been overly cautious with car lifts and with the recent tragedy at a local shop from a car lift it raised the bar for me even more. They are nice to have but if something goes wrong options run out quick....
