I mean who in their right mind buys a houses these days it’s like 40% cheaper to build. Not only that, but you get to design your whole house💀

Great review! One thing I did not hear you mention is to be sure to include an extra inch or two in your measurement to the garage ceiling in order to lower the top car back down. Most lifts require you to raise the lift an inch or two off the lock stops in order to release the catches before lowering the lift back down. If you get stuck or accidentally raise the too car too high, an emergency plan would be to let the air out of the top cars tires.

I did a similar thing for lighting. I have a double wide - 4 post lift. I bought a few 4’ LED shop lights and used epoxy to glue heavy duty magnets to the top of the light fixtures. For power, I used a retractable cord reel that self lengthens as I lower the lift. Once the lift is raised, a simple pull of the cord retracts the cord in to the reel.

Your garage/lift setup is what inspired me to do a complete gut renovation of my garage and add a lift (I only had ceiling height for one of the 3 bays). And then right after getting it perfect, we moved… Back to planning upgrades and this time, I think I’m going to go all out and replace a detached 2 car garage with the same setup (3x2) as what you have.

I used a two post lift to do my own oil change on an i8 coupe. Had to use wood to get car high enough to slide the arms under. Also had to get the car perfectly set for the arms to fit correctly. Then the doors couldn’t open even halfway because the car is wide. I was slithering out back and forth several times trying to get everything lined up and worked up a serious sweat lol. If it were mine I would paint the spots where my tires need to be and have someone guide me so I didn’t have to slide in and out more than once. Of course if your posts are wide enough then all that is a moot point. If/when I build my garage I’m probably going to do the four post lift just to keep it easy and allow it to be used as storage like the ladies here are doing. Thanks for the vid! Very informative

Pros definitely outweigh the cons. Don't know what I'd do without them. Manual for PP8S and BendPack HD-7 says 4" of concrete min. If bolting down (west coast required for seismic codes), there are torque specs as well for the bolts. Bolts must be 6" away from a concrete seam. I would add to the maintenance to always check your hydraulic lines and fittings. Any leaks are problematic. The BendPack lift is 92" wide between the posts vs. 81.5" for the Direct Lift PP8S. The PP8S is a little too narrow for me. Keep in mind you need 6 feet of clearance in front of the lift to install it. Recommend referring to the manuals as to why. BTW, Race Ramp work but can shift and you don't want to bump or damage the hardware on the front of the lift with a tire. Most ramps are removable and now they are very light weight. Longer ramps are better for lower profile cars. I have 48" aluminum ramps that are very light as well.

Just a suggestion for the head bumping. If you go to Home Depot or Lowe’s buy some self adhesive waterproof sealant that comes on 6” wide rolls. You can cut sections and apply it over the sharp points ….. even put two or three layers to give it a little cushion. You will still bump your head but at least it will stop you cutting your noggin open. I think you can get the stuff in black or white. So depending if you want it to blend in and not be noticeable or have it white to highlight the areas you want more visible.

I can mitigate Franny's height problem: people working inside airplanes would bump their heads all day if not for PPE. Search "bump cap" and you'll find plenty of protective hats and liners to put into your own. They have a hard shell with an impact absorbing foam, most are lightweight and vented. At Boeing, the ones with the short brims are coveted so you're not working in the shade. Keep a couple by the door for guests.

Those four holes on the "feet" are meant to bolt the lift down to the floor. There also great for leveling the lift itself. Every residential garage floor has a slope to it, to shed water towards the door. You really should level and bolt your lifts down. The cars you have aren't all that heavy, but I'd hate to see someone else put a heavy vehicle on a lift that isn't level, or bolted down.

You mention the drip pans you can put under a car that leaks.

Another minus would be , if you want to pull , say a rear end etc like when changing a clutch on a C6 Corvette .. Again, you’re right, there are plusses and minuses to every system. Great videos , Ladies !

Yes, there are some things that are more difficult but I haven't found anything I couldn't do - including pulling and reinstalling the engine and transmission on the 3.2 Carrera.

I would love to do this but my garage is only 9 foot with a very large beam that splits the bays that takes to overall height down to 8 foot. And Like you said, my 1970 bug convertible is tall and it’s would be hard to put that up and have room to put my other car underneath it.

Nice rides. I’m looking into getting a lift in my garage, just don’t know which one to go with? Or who to install it.

Picture this... March 1983. Local Chevy dealer. A brand new 1984 Corvette was hidden on a trailer, in a locked yard. Above the Vette is a new Citation. Said Citation had a leaky brake master cylinder. The new Vette's hood required paint job!!!

Nice video, very informative. A lot of first world problems though - 3 car garage, 6 cars, all special in one way or another!

I don't think that would make much difference with the lifts. So, we installed side panel lights as well as the under lift lights. We have a bunch of 50W LED shop lights on the ceiling and it is pretty bright with everything on.
