Okay, a lot of people are creating extra work when doing this on ramps. When on ramps the front tires and steering rack can not move. With the car on jack stands the front tires can move allowing the whole steering rack to be dropped NOT just moved a inch or so..... I can put my arms up to my shoulder in the hole it creates.

CHEAP!

i got mine for NAautoequipment.com its a 9000lb and it was 1850 shipped.

I got it 2 years ago, install was a breeze, a roto hammer and some concrete anchors, 2 guys can install it in 2-3 hours.

No mantience. its worked perfectly.

I have one peice of advice, get the Asymetrical lift. I didnt and its stupid cause you cant open to car door in the middle of the lift, you have to get out and roll it forward . The Asymetrical arms make it way better cause the rear arms are longer then the front, that way the post is not in the middle of the door when the car is on the lift
