What do you want to use this lift for? I would think you would need a thick slab in this area maybe thicker than 4 inches. I would want a 2 post electric over hydrolic for unobstructed work access. Are you just trying to store one over and one under? Mark

I'm very pleased with my Autolifters M80 4-post lift. Solves a tricky winter car-storage problem too! Here are the ASSEMBLY PIX (http://www.71protouringchevelle.com/autolifters.htm) for your enjoyment. E-mail me directly with any questions.

I bought the 7000 lb Eagle 4 post lift with the wheel kit. It is fairly easy to move around. I actually used it to stand on while I insulated and finished the ceiling in my shop. The workmanship is excellent and I think it is more versatile than a two post lift unless you do a lot of wheel and suspension work. You can also use it to store an extra car while you are not using it. Which ever way you go, you'll love it!! So much better than crawling under cars on your back!

I have the PerfectParker 7000. This is a 4 post lift and the posts are much thicker than the others such as Backyard Buddy. I have had it for about 3 yrs now and am very please with it as there is very little bowing of the posts and I have had my 1500 series dodge ram on it and all the way up and worked perfect.

The Direct Lift ProPark7 seems like a GREAT buy at $1995. I called the distributer and that also includes the following FREE:
1. Jacking Tray
2. (3) Drip Trays
3. Rolling casters

Anyone have this lift or seen it? Would definately be interested in ANY feedback?
