That's definitely a nice size garage. You'll get a lot of use out of that great lift. What's the vehicle in the foreground right?

Congrats and that shop looks awesome. I have had a 2 post Atlas for a couple years now. I'm very happy with it.

Congrats! I wanted a two-post lift, but my garage isn't tall enough to get full height (72"+) without hitting garage door hardware. I had to settle for a QuickJack.

How do you like it?

I don't like it as much as I thought I would. It's a pain in the butt to setup and put away. Those rails are very awkward to pick up. The frames have wheels on one end so you can roll them to the general area you need them, but with how awkward it is to hold them, the wheels don't really do much. There aren't any good grab points where you don't run the risk of pinching your fingers. They're also heavy. To be honest, in the time spent setting up the QuickJack, I could have my GT500 already up on four jack stands. Thanks to the boxed subframe connectors, I can jack up a whole side at once. The true benefit of the QuickJack is that it provides a much more stable base and you can safely raise/lower the whole vehicle at once. Which that's actually the whole point of the QuickJack. They just shouldn't call it "quick". Maybe they should've called it PortaLift. It feels like it takes an eternity to set it up. It probably only takes 8 minutes or so, in reality. I should probably time myself the next time I use it.

I do LOVE those quick-connect hydraulic lines. Those bad boys are sweet!

The QuickJack doesn't cost all that much less than a 2-post lift. If you have the space for it, a 2-post would be a way better way to go.

That's the reply I was afraid of. Ever look at the MaxJax stuff?
