how much do they cost

My friend's was around $5,500.00 but he got the "bells and whistles" to go with it including the drip pans, rollers, etc... We drove out and picked it up direct from their facility in Warren, Ohio and trailered it back.. I can tell you that thing was very heavy, around 2,500 lbs. It is very well constructed with US Steel and has a very nice powdercoat finish..

I will eventually be in the market for a lift if we ever start on our new house and garage. I plan on having a 2 post lift. Anyone have experience with their 2 post lifts?

I am pretty sure they don't make a 2 post lift, but they do offer a built in jack option that allows you to raise the car like a 2 post jack in a sense to service the car's suspension better, etc.
It reuses the units existing pump. If you had one of these front and back (they slide between the ramps), it would be really stable and clear to work under the whole car.

a 2 post is more permanent, where as this lift does not need to be bolted down. some 4 posts do.

For me personally, a 4 post is safer if you leave the car elevated for a long time while you are working on it (and you have kids that make it into the garage). I never finish anything fast.
