Daniel,
Is this the style you drive onto or is it the type that lifts the frame and the wheels hang?

Hi Dan. Take the measurements from the spec sheet and lay it out with chalk ( the footprint of the uprights) to be sure the area is level. When you're reasonably sure you're about there, stand the posts up and drill the holes for your anchor bolts through the post base (templates are not perfect), but drill and anchor only one side and then assemble everything before drilling the 2nd post . Check both posts for plumb, if they aren't, get a shim kit. You'll need to be sure the posts are square to each other also. Make sure all is perfect before you drill the holes for the 2nd post..... Sorry Daniel, got to go for now, I'm at work. Talk to ya later bro

great purchase dan. know you will love working under car now. i got a
scissor lift as i only have an 8 ft. ceiling. besides the vette it is
the best purchase i ever made. raises the car to about 1" from ceiling
(and yes joel i remember to shut my door
). take my mechanics chair and roll around under it and it makes jobs so much easier. good luck with it .

I have a 4 post in the center bay of a 3 car garage and the garage has a cathedral ceiling. Lift goes all the way to the top so a person just under 6' can walk under it without ducking. It is an outstanding throphy stand and you can get a bunch of work done without doing anything on you back. Good thing because when you get an old man down, it sometimes takes a come-along to stand back up.

Be careful about parking an old car on a two post lift for a long time. The engine is heavy and the frame will flex over time. You will notice it at the top and front of the doors. Two posts are better for working, four posts are better for parking.
