The on-going thread about the logistics of getting delivery of a 4 post lift made me wonder if anyone has any experience with a single-post parking lift line the one Pace Tools offers ( http://www.pa

I've never seen one. From one standpoint it is a good idea and would minimize the amount of space lost. It might be OK for car storage but not so good for working on cars because it blocks a lot of a

No experience with a single post lift. I'd want to know the answer to a couple of questions. 1) Will it work/install on a standard/residential garage concrete floor? Four post lifts do not need anyth

I don't see the advantage. For the price, you can get a really good, two post lift that can lift twice the weight, and you can work on the car with it there. (Any maybe have money left over.) Eric P

A two post lift is best for working under a car but not good for storing a car (leaving the suspension drooping). A four post lift is best for storing one above the other. A four post lift with a jac

Eric--Perhaps you and/or someone else could expand on supporting a car with it's suspension "drooping". This would be the same if it were up on jacks, right? I'm not advocating either/or, but interes

Mike, Hopefully Eric will provide a more technical and complete answer, but I have always been told that cars are intended to rest on their suspensions and long-term storage with the wheels unsupport

It is generally advised to not store a car with the suspension at full droop *for long periods of time* (I'd assume many months/years). Bushings & springs will take a set in the drooped position. A c

Yes, it's the same, but not exactly. The suspension bushings consist of two metal tubes with "rubber" bonded in between. The outer tube is usually a press fit into the a-arm. The inner tube is slight

Tim--Thank you for a good explanation on "drooping". Makes sense (the rubber band analogy helped). Mike
