priobe,
I had researched the subject of a lift for a long time before i made a choice and I encourage you to do the same to find the lift that is right for you. i agree with an early note to check out some shows to get a feel for the different types of materials / construction. (another site you may want to research is
www.garagejournal.com..do a search on lifts). Check your garage dimensions twice before you purchase (front, back and & height at both ends).
You can check my gallery out, but at the end of day I choose a lift with the collar over the piller design. There are others that may want to discuss the merits of different companies, however in the end get the best you can affort b/c your prize ride will be on it and you will be under it
PS...I love the lift...I would also suggest you get some type of jackstands...I have two and jack up my car, put the stands on the pads(while on the lift) to do my wheel work at shoulder height...can't imagine doing it any other way.
Good Luck.
Kramer
