4 post lift vs. 2 post lift. Pros and Cons.

2 post lift brings back vivid memories of high school auto shop with a true 2 post jack with 2 independent hydraulic rams that lifted 1 car. You had to work them in tandem to lift car level and the rear one had a sticky control valve. A student lifted a VW and before we knew it, the front was 3 feet off the ground and the rear was 12 feet high! Lookes like Herbie coming down from a Dukes of Hazzard jump. Teacher screamed at us "Get the fuc# out of here!" While he raced opposite the crowd to the pump power disconnect. Close call. The 2 post at our maintenance shop hampers entry into the doors, only thing i could fault as well as the potential balance issue once the motor and trans are pulled out the bottom.
