I have the bridge jack and a sliding jack tray for my four post lift.
That's how I did wheels-off work before I added a 2-post lift. I found that
all that crap was always in the way of whatever it was we wanted to work
on. Don't get me wrong. It's 100x better than laying on the concrete, but
it's far from ideal.

Outside of muffler I was on my way alignment shops, four post lifts are pretty awful for working on cars.  They are better than the ground, and the ones that can move are great for flexibility, and one former employer had one we pushed outside in good weather. 

A couple shops I used to work in had 1 post in ground lifts. They are pretty great for general service stuff, but if you need to work on exhaust or a transmission not so much. For body work and doors,  they’re about ideal.  It’s too bad the economics of in-ground lifts is so much
