i am building a good friend of mine a pretty big mancave, with lots of room for car storage, living area, kitchen 2 bathrooms, enormous area with shelves and racks for parts storage nice gathering area and around it we have put 7 of the roll around hydraulic lifts. you can add the hydraulic jack to lift the vehicle to remove the wheels/suspension. i personally feel a lot more comfortable with this type.

Curious, what brand did you get and are you happy with them?

I have an asymmetrical 10k Challenger. I view it as the best money I've spent for my shop (with the fridge running a close second)

I would not store a car on a 2 post for indefinite periods though. It's my opinion the body and chassis were designed to be stored on the suspension attachment points. That's of particular concern with the plastic cars.

I have personally witnessed three, two post drop-offs, the last one being my like new 2500 CC DuraMax, may it RIP. Totaled the lift too, lucky no one was killed.
Front drive cars, sure. Trucks, not for me.

Or any convert. Try opening convert doors on a two post.
