I also need to get two plugs. One for my 220 source and one for the pump motor for the lift. I was thinking of using the twist lock connectors
LOL yep. Thats why I was recommending the symmetrical lift!having lifted a few of those when I worked at the dealer. I would place my lift so I couldn't lift one ever again.....
even with our 10000lb lifts those things were scary in the air almost never stopped rocking without a screw jack at each end.

I’ll need all the room I can get.I think you’re right on moving it back 3” more.
The post on my lift near the side wall is 3ft from it. I hope that’s far enoughHere's mine. Pic is from about a year and a half ago when my garage was just finished. The lift is far enough toward the back wall where I can pull another car behind it while still having room for a workbench and tool boxes in front. It was installed far enough away from the outside wall to have enough room to stand there and operate it, ensure whatever vehicle is on it won't hit the ceiling and also to be able to open a door and/or pull an axle on the passenger side. There is enough room on the left side to pull a car next to it but it's a little tight getting in and out.

Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Bolt 3/4 in. x 5-1/2 in. Zinc-Plated Wedge Anchor-STB2-75512P1 - The Home DepotThat thing looks to me like it's been used already. I'd go get another one from Lowes or Home Depot.
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.

It’s no special concrete anchor right?. This one is the same size
That's probably it. If you go to get it, check the strength vs a Red Head brand. They usually have both kinds, and the Red Heads are a popular anchor.
