When my lift was "supposed" to be delivered, they told me the driver would unload for me onto the driveway. Due to a shipping issue the lift was delayed and on Thursday night I spoke with the shipper

This is a promising approach, since it doesn't require coordinating several people at the same, arbitrary time. Is it particularly difficult to rent a truck with a liftgate? Also, what's the best way

No, just get a Budget/Ryder and ask for a truck with a lift gate. Don't even think about using Uhaul, expensive prices for trucks that shouldn't be even on the road. Oh yeah and a 4 speed with granny

Although a two post lift allows you to work on the suspension easier, there is a problem with tightening things up. The car is supposed to be at "ride height" before you tighten all the bushings. It'

FWIW, You may be able to request a lift gate when you set up your shipping arrangements with who ever you purchased your lift from. Even request a short truck. Where I work, a lot of our dealers do n

Yes, air is required for the safety latch release (for lowering only)- as well as for the rolling jack. I have standard connectors in place, so I just plug in the air hose whenever it's needed. I had

Don't the Bend-Pak lifts have pneumatically-operated latches that require an air connection? Also, how much hassle was delivery? This is my main concern (apart from the $$$) about getting a lift. My

A two-post in-ground lift is a two post lift, in the ground. So instead of having arms travel on above ground posts, the posts are hydraulic cylinders. See http://www.rotarylift.com/products/Product_

Site prep depends on local soil conditions. You need a hole that's about ten feet deep. If your soil is too wet, or isn't strong enough, it'll have to be fixed. The bottom of the hole is filled with
