Re: 4 post lift questions
I have purchased 4 in the last 15 years for my work. I installed all of them myself. We use eagle equipment and have had no problems.

Re: 4 post lift questions
I have a Bendpak and no complaints. The cheaper ones I believe are foreign made so I stayed away from those.
Had mine for many years now and still going good. I didn't even bolt it down.

Re: 4 post lift questions
Here is mine in action while changing the oil on one of my VW....It is a Bendpak and presently not bolted down. I have it for about 6 yrs now. You will need to run electrical and hydraulic line for the lift to function. I have another that is called Backyard buddy also but doesn't raise as high as the Bendpak. However it doesn't require hydraulic but costs a little more than Bendpak and a little more convenient in terms of ramp, installation. I can take pic of the backyard buddy if you want.

Re: 4 post lift questions
Thanks! I needed that. I had a buddy who owned a Black with Black interior one that died in Nam and his folks wouldn't sell it to me. They took it to Chicago so they wouldn't see it again. I've always had a soft spot for the AMC's and would love a AMX 2 seater !
