Three of my friends have lifts, two with four post and one with a two post. I really want one but the cost would take away from my build money.
I bought and installed a 10 ton 2 post certified Eagle lift in 2013. Best money I ever spent! I kick myself in the *** for not doing this 10-15 years ago.

While you are kicking your own *** do mine too lol.... Had mine over a year and looking back on my life and all the stupid, and outlandish things I have thrown good money away on how did I never own one before now....
I just snagged a Fleet Transmission Jack and Stands for a song so life is got for using the lift now....

Just got one last summer from a member, prob could have used some adult supervision raising it. No FABO members were hurt either!
So easy to do stuff now, well worth the money.

Would love to have one, but my small garage has a steel support beam running width wise. Limits lift height.
Anyone, have and/or use one off those lifts that go under the car/frame? Not scissor type but rather the ones that go under frame and allow access to center of the vehicle?

And, you put it in sideways!
Seeing people install their own. Please have it checked every few years. And please stay away from cheap off brand ones. Remember, you're still putting several thousand pounds of metal up in the air. Accidents can and do happen, so be professional in your approach to using one.
I've had one for over 16yrs in my shop, and I've had 11K lb trucks 6 foot in the air. Can't imagine not having one, and have mine inspected every 2-3 yrs, just to know its in top condition.

this is very good advice, Also, I highly recommend getting solid, quality jackstands designed for use with a lift and placing those under the vehicle as well when working. I've seen vehicles tip off from being yanked on too much. I actually anchor mine front and back to the floor as well.

Must see. 15000 lbs is a tough standard however.

Never heard of them, look into Atlas.
Ouch, I do check the nuts in the floor studs every few months they do loosen up.

I looked at a lot of lifts before deciding on a Dannmar certified 10k 2 post lift. Best advice I found was no one ever wishes they bought a smaller cheaper lift. The first time you stand under your car you will understand exactly what that means.
