Alright, this is kind of an open-ended question but I'm looking for general input on two-post lifts, ceiling height, etc. Long story short my folks are looking at rebuilding their garage after their old one was reduced to ash in an electrical fire last year. They're starting to talk to architects, and my General thoughts, ideas and cash contributions are welcome

Motronic posted:That's not really a good storage solution. Typically one would use a 4 post for storage. NitroSpazzz posted:Just echoing what Motronic said. A two post lift isn't for storage and will need extra or reinforced concrete poured. A four post lift is great for storage and I think you can get away with a normal concrete pour, or at least less than a two post. Thanks guys, that's the stuff I need to know. Will spec for a four-post.

The 4-posts I'm seeing in cursory googling are all ramp-types where the car sits on the tires. That's great for storage, fine for oil changes and whatnot, but a big part of why I want a lift is for ease of rotating tires and suspension work (i.e. I'll be installing lifts for a couple of my 4x4 friends in the near future). I suppose it's easy enough to bust out the jackstands for that, but is there a best of both worlds option? Overhead vehicle storage would be nice, but currently it is not a high priority.

Any of you guys with 2-post lifts have brand or model suggestions? The folks' architect is asking for exact specs and I've been crazy busy/behind on research. I don't need insane weight capacity, will largely be lifting my 2014 Rubicon at ~5000lbs, my friends' tacomas/colorados etc. Looking at Atlas baseplate models currently, they seem well received.
