4-post Car Lift Install

BradZditosky · 10-26-2014, 10:58 AM

So yesterday I added a new toy to the garage, a 9000lbs 4 post lift. It is the Direct Lift 9000 Pro Plus, after a ton of research this is the lift that i decided to get, one of the main reason is because it is actually certified at 9000lbs. The time lapse is over about 6.5 hours, I had the gopro take a picture every 30 seconds, made for a crude time lapse, wish i would have had it take every 5 seconds but it is what it is lol

I drove my car on it and i still had plenty of clearance, the real test will be when I lower my car haha, but they always make longer approach ramps to accommodate lower cars
and i see your from grand rapids, we actually picked up the lift up at Automotive Lift & Alignment which is just south of grand rapids in Kentwood

I take it that lift is more for little things like fluid changes and car storage, as the car still won't ever have the wheels unloaded?

They make rolling Jacks for between the run ways so you can jack up the car on the lift, I will be getting one eventually, but for now they give you a "jack tray" that you can put a bottle jack in to jack up the car and then out jack stands under the 4 jack points. We are lowering the black car you see in the picture next weekend so I will post pictures of the car jacked up

simmo1985 · 10-26-2014, 05:12 PM

Wow, thats pretty nice.

I love how your garage is at least 6 times the size of an average one over here! Amazingly most new builds over here you can't even get a car in!

Not jealous though.

That's cool! Do you mind pm'ing me what you estimate a total price of the lift and rolling jacks to be? I'm dying to get a lift in the next year or so.

You have to see what size lift you can fit in your garage and go from there.

Alen E90 · 10-26-2014, 08:51 PM
