You will notice with our 4-post automotive lifts two distinct features; the thickness of the plate, and the location of the post welded on the plate. Having a thick plate prevents warping when welding the posts. By having the post toward the center of the baseplate, (rather than one on the outer edge), it allows for better weight distribution, increasing the stability. While there is an option to anchor the lift, it is recommended that you let the lift remain free standing. Having a free-standing lift provides you with the option to move the lift around inside your garage, or even outside of your garage if conditions allow.
My club Evolution Jeep Alliance took a trip out to Colorado for two weeks of wheeling. This jack I had purchased at the All Breeds Jeep Show just for this trip. It ended up being the best investment I made. It was used to rebuild 3 axle shafts, diagnose a bad wheel sensor and rebuild two trailer wheel bearings. With onboard air and power tanks we lifted everything easily.
