1 lift installed 1 to go, my best Viper mod!

[fastmd]

I had a Lift installed yesterday, Pro Park 9 plus and I am having a 2 post installed in 2 weeks. This is the best mod that I have done (if you can call it a mod). The 2 post will be for working on the cars. I had 2 jackshaft openers installed to allow the garage doors lift all the way to the ceiling. If anyone is in the tristate area, I found some great installers for all the equipment, at great prices. I will probably have a 3rd lift installed in the new 4 bay garage that is I am building, because it really does make life easier .


Now I just need Bill P. to get my Orange ACR built and shipped

Very nice. Post pics of your ACR when you receive it.

Nice stable! Do you need to do anything special to your concrete for the 2 post lift? It would be awesome to have a lift to work on my cars and since I would not store my Viper in my unheated garage might make more sense than a 4 post.

Are the arms low enough on the 2 post to get under the Viper? When I took my Viper to my son's high school for his shop class, we had to use a low profile jack to get the arms under my Gen 1.

Rocket, the 2 post must be bolted to the floor, it needs a 4" base of concrete (I have 6, but most will have at least 4"). I am buying a commercial grade with asym arms, with no base on the bottom, only on the top and the arms fit under my viper(I tried it a friend's shop).

I'm still kicking myself for not vaulting the ceiling in my garage for lifts. Very nice.

Juli, that is a 1995 Porsche 928GTS, it was the last year for that car from porsche it is a V8,front engine, aluminum body sports car. It is a love it or hate it car, because of the high cost to purchase and maintain. I need to snap some new pics, it is currently stored at my vacation house because of space.

fastmd, your set up looks great! Wish I had all the space you do! I got a Pro-Park about 4 years ago and their great. I needed them for storage after moving from a 3 car to 2 car, but with all the work I've been able to do on the car I'll always have a lift no matter where I live. I need to find someone to lift my door and tracks as I have to park the top viper in backwards, the door will clear both hoods but it won't clear the hatch or the sport bar.

I noticed you have the steel ramps, my wife got me the aluminum ramps for my birthday a few months ago, what a difference, 1/4 the weight! I'd suggest you get them before you
drop one of the heavy sob's on your foot. Mike

Wow, you ARE fast, fastmd!!!~~LOL! Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. Ah, then you have a rare Porsche, it would seem? Okay, love it or hate it with purchase/maintain, but how about performance/handling? LOVE the blue Viper Vert~!
