Nice man! I have a two post lift and it was honestly the best thing I've ever done.

Mind if I ask how much that setup ran you??? A lift/garage expansion is in our renovation plans. Didnt know how you would get the tires up on a four post, thats sweet!!!

I thought thats what I saw but I just assumed I couldnt zoom in enough to be sure.

Some companies even tell you that you don't need to... Well guess what, you do. I've seen 5 collapse, it's insanely dangerous not to fix them to the ground. Figure out where you want it, then make it 'permanent'.

Nice! My next lift will be a 4 post. I have a 2 post now and to be honest I wouldn't do half the things I do know without it.
What's the working height fully lifted?

Lifts are incredibly affordable, it's just having the room.

My quick jack (which I bought used) is over halfway to the cost of an entry level 2 post but I physically can't make a 2 post happen.

Yep, this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I had Challenger 4-poster installed about 6 years ago, with two rolling jacks (RJ45 & RJ35). It is awesome.

I used it for about two weeks, then one day I was letting my pickup truck down and turned away for a second... well, one of the safety latches remained engaged while the other three were off, and when I looked back at the truck/lift it was cockeyed because three corners were coming down, but one was still at full height. I was one second away from total SNAFU. Scared the crap out of me, I had to go back to full height before I could release that latch. I got lucky and did not wreck anything.

The very next day I bolted the lift down very securely.
