Default New lift up and running!

I finally got my lift last Saturday and installed it with a good friend. I am thrilled that after 11 years since I had my first lift that I'm once again not working on a creeper!

Not yet I,m a couple inches short but I'm going to have the ceiling vaulted a few inches to accommodate a higher lift height in the near future.

Very nice! Where are you in GA? I'm northeast of Atlanta just off 85.

Oh, oh,..! Lift envy! I want, I want!

It's on my list. A couple questions...ok, more than a couple

Length of lift, weight limit, max lift height, did you get the transom jacks, where, how much? (If you don't mind telling....i hope to get one early next year, if my bonus is good!)

I have the same lift except in tall version. Great tool and allows more car storage in winter...

Can I recommend... A jackshaft-style door opener? It moves the power unit to the end of the spring shaft, gets things completely clear of the area over the car. That then points to having the door tracks higher too, with a pulley and cable change. My door just clears the light fixtures, and follows the slanted ceiling in the front of the garage workbay.

Chamberlain 8500 openers are very quiet.

^^^......I did this when I installed the MaxJax, not only for lifting the 928s to the max height but also the Cayenne.
