I am sure that there are truck repair garages around that can handle 
that vehicle.  It is a monster compared to a car, but not really a 
monster in the spectrum of commercial vehicles.  If you really want 
to invest the money and space for a huge lift just because you think 
it would be cool, then I get it and I'll let you get back to your 
research.  If your goal is just to service your one truck, I think it 
is hard to justify a lift.

Seriously, I do have two duallies now (I may sell one).  Plus I have other 
peoples cars/trucks that I work on.
I also been thinking about getting a 4 post lift so I can roll it outside 
to clean under cars before I work on them.  Plus the storage factor would 
be a plus.

But I wanted to see if anyone had any experaince with these and duallies 
and dump beds on this list.

One issue that I ran into looking for a similar life was that some of the
larger, higher capacity lifts would not work well for both large a small
vehicles.  Bend-Pak makes a 14000 puound lift that would work for your
truck, but the minimum distance between the runways on this lift is 38".
Some of the smaller vehicles I own have a narrow enough track that they
won't easily fit with the runways set full narrow.

Eric - With all your projects, have you considered a walk-in pit?  I 
believe a typical hole in the ground pit is now frowned upon, but if you 
have part of your property with enough slope, you could make it so you 
drive in at the top and walk in at the bottom.  If there is no actual 
pit, there should be no danger of fluid or gas buildup.

They you could drive anything you have over it.
