I've been planning for this for at least 2 years now. Finally it has come to fruition!!

Thanks. My 2002 SS isn't actually a CME. It's a regular Bright Rally Red SS that I put some stripes on and did a little custom painting on the rear valence.

Oh. Ok. Too many acronyms on these internet forums these days!! I thought you were using the acroynym as "Comemorative Edition" or something like that.

Nice set-up, what's your wall height? I'm going to start breaking ground on a new garage (shed for the city) in my backyard this spring with a four post lift.

Nick S · 03-15-2013, 09:46 PM

My actual stud walls are 12 ft high and they are sitting on top of about 6" of concrete sticking up above the floor leve around the outside. So I have minimum of 12 ft 6 in ceiling height clearance. Most 2 post lifts will require minimum 12 ft clearance.
If you are looking for maximum versitility in using a lift a 2 post will offer the most versitility. It keeps almost the entire under body of the car open for working on it. A drive on 4 post will end up blocking access to a lot more of the underbody. That's why I went with the 2 post. I am looking to get a 4 post someday but that will mostly be used for storage purposes so I can put one car on top of the other for parking space.

I'm jealous,! I want one!!! Awesome man!

Thanks for the info, I plan on a four post lift mainly for storage, but it will also be better the working on you back.
