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?

Nice. I did not realize that you also got the floor leveled model. I did too.

My lift is closer to on side of the garage then the other and that wall has 3 outlets right around the length of the car. I want to route some airlines too but I'll need to have one project at a time. When I do the air lines I'll put the noisy ass air compressor outside in a lean to or something and just have the air line pipe coming in.

I'll probably make some runners like yours. I think I'll have some sort of bolt to the floor method like a giant recessed nut in the floor and the bolt will fit in a counter sunk hole. I don't know how all that is going to work out yet.

My garage is 2 cars wide and 3 cars deep (with some extra room left to right and front and back). But with the lift it might fit 4 cars. Work benches and junk on the floor take up space.

I have the lift in about the middle off to one side. It is near the drain, plenty of power etc. I have a 50 amp welding outlet at the front.... but no welder so I think I am set for a while. It is much to far away if I had to weld something while the car was on the lift though.
