LIFT
#61
I have Direct Lift PP8S. It comes with 36 inch steel ramps. With front axle lift on, it will clear it. However, the runways are 41/2 inch high on direct lift. If the lift that you are looking at has the same runway height, it will clear it.

No worries. I am still getting acclimated to the usage of the lift. After watching them install it, I would recommend having someone who knows how to do it set it up. It's not super difficult, just there are probably some tricks of the trade to make sure it is set up safely and properly.
I bought a Challenger 40EFX from a transmission shop that went out of business. To put it in context, this is a 4 post lift with 17' long runners rated at 12,000 lb. working load. I contacted the manufacturer for manual and parts list. Took the Illustrated Parts Breakdown with me when I bought it to make sure everything was there. Loaded it up and took it home.
Needed a helper, but had the lift anchored and operating the next weekend.
I recondition machine tools as a hobby, but I didn't find putting a lift together, squaring it up, and anchoring it down all that challenging.

The runway is 4.9" high. I'm hoping that the 36" ramp will work so I don't have to remove them to close the garage door.
I'll have to looking into that if the 36" ramp doesn't work. The prices are around the same for alu or race ramps and I'd much rather use race ramps for the weight savings.
