I do not want to spend my lift money on my floor looks. My current plan is Rustoleum epoxy on the floor and a 4 post lift.

I noticed Jeffvette recently commented on lifts that the 2 post was a better deal. My concern with the 2 post is the amount of strain placed on the concrete slab when lifting a car. Does a 2 post require special foundations? Can you store a car on the 2 post lift or does it damage the suspension when not under load? My concrete floor tested out at 5,000 PSI.

Appreciate your guys opinions on both

PS Jeff when are you going to fix my clutch slave?

Good to hear your well, Doug . Generally two post's are more for working on cars, four post's more for storing...although both can be done with either. One question...what do you need one for if Jeff's working on your car ....
