My other car is a Dodge
We had both in our shop. No possible way to do a FWD eng and trans out on a 4 post. Buy a pair jack stands. When you unbolt the eng cradle is when the car falls off the back

:worthles:Or a linki've looked at a number of 4 post lifts for an intended spring purchase. the one that i'm going to buy is called "Backyard Buddy" made in Dayton, Ohio. i like its design because it uses four square boxed verticle posts as the legs with the platform sliding up and down on each of the posts via square boxes at each end of the platform. i like the safety lock also on this design. they use a large rectangular steel block that inserts into square holes in each post as the platform goes up the post. this steel block inserts about an inch into the square post so when the platform comes down on it it is impossible for the platform to accidently drop. also the square platform blocks on the end of the platform going up and down on the verticle posts makes the entire unit very stable. so stable that the feet of the posts do not have to be bolted to the floor. Backyard Buddy has a number options for this lift like roller casters, platform jacks, drip trays, etc. there are a couple of other component designs that i also like on this unit. it is more expensive than most of the other brands. last i checked it's close to $5k. but it looks like the very best design for use and safety that i've seen.

This may be a little off topic, but definitely lift related. I'm in the market for a lift too, but I have an issue that I haven't resolved yet. I have a multi-car garage with single 7' tall doors for each bay. With that setup my electric garage door openers are suspended approx 7 1/2' over the middle of each bay - right in the way of where the car would be lifted. To clear the space overhead I would need to: 1) remove the garage door opener and open/close the door manually; or 2) have some kind of a side-mounted / offset garage door opener. Do you guys know if a side-mounted / offset garage door opener even exists? Thanks in advance for your input.
They do make wall mount garage door openers but you still have the tracks for the door on both sides...I have never seen a lift in a garage with 8' ceilings...I have seen guys build a garage with scissor trusses and mount the lift in the middle..And those were floor plate type lifts...Bill
I'm looking at some mid-rise scissor lifts. !
Liftmaster 8500 Wall Mount Garage Door Opener - Amazon.com Tom, here is a link to the garag door opener this is just one make there ar others just Google wall mount garage door openers....Bill
I actually have a 10' ceiling in my garage. I'm looking at some mid-rise scissor lifts. The garage door tracks are no issue as they are to either side of the bay. My problem is that the garage door opener is hanging 7 1/2' directly over the center of the bay - right where the car would be raised up through.
Now tell me more about these wall mounted garage door openers and where I can find out more about them? Thanks in advance for your input!
