[QUOTE="Ohms, post: 6012622, member: 66783"] We have a Twin Post 10,000lb 12ft Rotary that we use to work on the cars with, and then 2, 4 post drive on Rotarys that we use as car stackers to get more room in the shop. its a 4800sq ft buildling, but still running out of room, too many toys haha. I would recommend a twin post over a 4 post though, you have much more room to work with a Twin post, unless all your doing is tire rotations and oil changes (basic maintence), then a drive on 4 post with hydraulic sliding jacks will be fine. -Shawn Edit: for the guy with the 10ft ceiling. If your really planning on buying a lift, and you have an attic or some type of un-used space available above your garage, Id reccomend cutting out the cross beams then boxing it and raising the ceiling height above where the vehicle would raise to accomodate a few more feet. I know a guy who did this to allow his twin post to raise his cars up high enough to stand under. I believe he had a 10 or 12ft ceiling before aswell, now its more like a 10/12ft with a 16ft space above for anything to go into. Also if anyone is worried about the car rocking on a twin post, I use a Hydraulic tripod jack on rollers, this way it supports the rear of the vehicle so it doesnt rock, and possibly fall off the lift. Ive done ALOT of work with this lift with zero problems, I could see it getting kind of scary at times (mostly the 6" Lift kit I installed a couple weeks ago) without having that rear jack supporting the back.
