I bought an American Pride 2 post lift. My son and I put it together. And let me tell you drilling 12, 3/4 inch holes in 6 inch concrete for the hold down studs was a bear. I used a 3/16 inch bit to drill pilot hole first so that the hole would be sort of accurate, and then drilled the holes with 3/8 bit, and then with 1/2 bit, and then finally with 3/4 bit. All the holes were right on. Lifted the columns up and bolted them down, run the cables and hooked up the hydraulic lines, had an electrician hook up the juice and walla it worked. Put a one ton pallet of stuff on it to check it out and everything went just fine. Now I just have to convince my son to let me put his 69 Dodge Charger on it to test it with a car on it and I'll let you know how it works later. Oh the directions that came with the lift were lame. I called the Co. and asked for more info and they faxed it to me. Still kinda lame but even a old airhead like me could do it. Have fun if you get one.
