Lift placement
So that’s going to be tough with only 23’ depth. Plus, it’s kind of sketchy to lift a vehicle that long on an asymmetrical lift. You might want to rethink a symmetrical lift. You can use it like an asymmetrical lift but have the ability to place the vehicle offset on the lift and lift it up backwards. You really need a lot of room in front of a vehicle to lift it facing forward and at that point, you might as well have got a symmetrical lift. My lift is an Atlas symmetrical 10K extra wide and extra tall. The top of my posts are 12’8” and I mounted it 10’10” from the back wall to the center of the posts. My shop is 28’x40’ and roughly 14’ at the center for reference. I lift my CCSB Sierra 2500HD on it all the time without issue. I will say there is some bounce to the rear end of the truck when it’s up in the air and I imagine it would be a LOT worse on an asymmetrical lift. You’d definitely want to put a tall jack stand on the rear of the truck with an asymmetrical lift.
