Knees are shot. Like ice cream too much to loose weight, means the obvious answer is to install a lift.
So, looking at the "reasonable" end of 9K lb, symmetrical lifts, what's the short comings of the following brands? http://www.naautoequipment.com/2-post-lifts.html http://www.derekweaver.com/update/products...9A_2_Post_Lifts http://www.eagleequip.com/page/EE/PROD/LI-ETP/MTP-9F http://www.nationalautotools.com/nt9-9000-...e-lift-p-2.html |

I have the same low clearance issue. How long are your runners? Are they just for the front wheels?
On mine I had to have the front arms swung forward and dive on some 2x6s. I might find someway to have cleats that hold runners in place but still allow the runner to be removed. I am not sure I have it all worked out. So... I'll need to cruise the a hardware store. All my fittings were fine though. Good thing to know the company did something about it. No issues with mine. My buddy wired it up and replaced the little pig tail that the lift came with. He also went though the connections to make sure they were all good -- two of them came out of the crimp connections. He also wired in a 30 amp flip switch above the motor. I did not anticipate just how much room a lift takes up. I am glad I have it though. |
