I think you meant 30th Anniversary.....

I have the Atlas 408-SL from Greg Smith and have been pleased with it.

Very nice. The cars and lift are ok as well. But that golf cart is awesome.
But seriously, I’m jealous. Great set up.

I got the Backyard Buddy extra tall as I’m 6’3” from Advantage lifts. Came with the casters to wheel it around the shop. From what I’m told, Backyard Buddy is the only one made in America.

I don't have an exact measurement but 3-4" on each side to the support columns. For a 5th gen Z, I would recommend an extra wide type 4 post. The tightest clearance on my 4 post is clearing the tire/wheel while pulling on/off the runners to the pulley covers for the braided wire rope in each column. My tires hang off the runners about 1" on each side....these cars are wide.

Is your Atlas 408SL considered extra wide? I like yours and looking for a lift as well

This is really good advice. If you have room, purchase the wider 4-post.

I bought mine 25 years ago, Rotatry’s new lineup at the time, they were made in the US. It has held-up well. I also have 2 two-post Rotary made in US.

No, the Atlas 408-SL is the standard width. If sticking with the Atlas brand, the 409-HP is similar but extra wide and extra tall.
