Four Post Car Lift in a 10' Garage 

Exactly what I am looking into doing. Great job! I think I may just hire a company to do it for me, rather than by all the extra equipment to move things around. Thanks for taking the time to document the process!

Thanks! Good to know it's something I can put together myself!

You're winning sir! Houses with 3-car garages cost a grip here in MD. I NEED a 3-car garage, as my 2-car garage is about maxed out! That lift did its job of freeing up the other stall space.. Those added cost's rack up real quick!

Some great lessons here for someone like me looking to get a lift. Thanks for sharing your experience

I love the gray Chevelle. I have a 69 Charger with the same wheels and tires. That's how a muscle car should look. best of luck with your shop build. I'll be watching.

Thank you so much for this video, very helpful to me. I have a pole barn that stores three at the moment but have 6 classics and need as much room as possible. Doubling the capacity is a no brainer like this.

I installed a Maxjax 10 years ago. Before I bought it, I asked myself, do I really need this and am I going to use it. Well, I haven’t stopped using it and its the best tool I have. I have the same height ceiling as you and I do frequent repairs to my grand caravan that I use for business purposes. The lift at that time on sale was 2000k. I had to improve the concrete in the garage and with all the odds and ends, it ran around 4500. Well worth it. I used ti install garage doors and you did a superb job. The most important step on the modification is making sure the torsion shaft for the spring is mounted level with the door. The bottom if the door has to be set level when setting up the cables and the spring, otherwise, slack will develop as the door opens and the cable may jump the drum. Otherwise, looks good. Great investment if you work and do your own repairs. If I were to make the investment again, I would raise the ceiling or install a package tray and go with a full size lift. Looks good!👍

Hey Matt, that was an excellent video. I've had carlifts before myself, but got rid of them when I sold the Home I am in Austin Texas and thinking about installing one

I’ve been pondering this for a very long time. Thanks for this informational post!

I bought and installed the Triumph Classic 8000 (shorter) lift about a year ago. I can't remember if I had to reroute the cable. I vaguely think I did. Your instructions looked better than mine. A full view of the posts laid out for orientation on a half a sheet of paper does not give good details! lol. But overall, pretty happy. I think I'm getting an AMGO 407-P next as it is narrower.. Good for my smaller cars. Thanks for the video!

Great move to the Free and Sane lands. Cool lift. I thinking about installing one too.

Matt i took and put a piece of foam pipe insulation on that top strut on the door on my buddies lift just for safety in case it did hit the vehicle by the way nice job

Did you look at the Wildfire Lifts? Thanks for the details and the real world set up.

Nice lift. Nice car. Love them wheels so much.

I just bought the same lift this Tuesday, $3100 out the door, got from the same Ft worth N.A.W. You got yours from, only Im 125 miles west. Wish I still lived in Tarrant county area. Nice cars, are you member of Mad Dog Car Club? Go to any car shows, there’s one practically every weekend in the Tarrant county area.

Your set up is exactly what I was planning. My issue is the head room, I need 8 more inches. Needing to park a Corvette above our Tesla Model Y and no matter how we measure it out by shifting the lift to the very back off the garage it doesn't work. Your set up looks great! Thanks for the tip on the garage rails also.

Great video. Thanks for posting. Was 30 amp power required and did you need to modify your 110v outlet?

Good job! Thanks fir showing all that is involved. I'm a dyier and I now can deside if I'm willing to go through the effort or open up my wallet ;)

Nice job! I don’t have a lift but would have the space. I’m out in the county and garage doors are wider than in the city and longer as well. Roughly 10’ ceilings. 9’ wide doors by 8’ high door opening. Garage length is 21’. Garage width at the door opening walls is 31’ 3.5”. At the front of the garage, the house wall side angles wider by 6’. So garage width at the backyard end is 37’ 3.5”.

Look great. Well done dude!

I purchased both of my lifts used. A 9k Rotary two post lift for 1800, and the four post lift that I can put wheels under and move it out to the parking lot if I want to pressure wash underneath a car. I think I paid 2K for that. Both really good quality, both lightly used in a home hobby garage. I would take used quality over new Chinese any day

He has 6inches.....NO DIDDY!!! PAHAHAHA!!

how tall are those two cars in the vid? I am trying to figure out if this lift will work. My top car will be 49" tall and the btm one will be 56"

Nice job. What was your last lift you said that you owned prior? Just window shopping for a lift

Looks great! The lift doesn't need to be bolted into the cement?

Looking good Matt, it's looks a "bit" hot in TX :- ) "I'm building a shop"........let's hear about that :- )

Hi, Matt, thanks for the great video. That really encourages me to start up lift my garage and have post lifts inside. My door is similar to yours and you mentioned that you didn’t buy uplift kit and just cut the current rails to extend it. Did you get any additional brackets to support it , other than replacing with longer cable? Few detailed steps will be much appreciated. Thx

I see you aren’t too far from me. Would you be willing to help me install same lift in our garage?

Great video. How long is your lift?

Great job god bless

I am also looking for a good body shop for my 68 Chevelle. Let me know if you have any recommendations in Austin or even Fort Worth getting a little desperate finding a good reliable shop.

The problem with these new homes even with three car garages, is they give you enough room for the cars, and barely anything else.

I have a 72 vette.... looks like i need another street car to have an excuse for buying one of those!

You should go down and show them the install directions are wrong. So they can print an addendum to installation.

Do you have to mount it down?

Can someone help me please? 1) Can you suggest any proven methods of installing such a lift in a garage that has a slope of at least 4-5 inches? 2) Also, would the lift shift if I don’t bolt it to the ground? (I would rather not anchor it as my concrete slab is only 4 inches thick.)

So if you pack the mussel cars in like sardines how many can you get in that garage?

Didn't you have another lift that you bought used? Is it still there? I didn't see it. Also, NOW you're going to build a shop after stuffing 2 lifts into your garage? What?

Seems light only 1000lbs might be a little scetchy.

You don't have to mount it to the ground?

what happened to the used lift you installed 5 months ago.

You don't bolt that to the floor?

My Pick-Up Is 10,000 Pounds So That Would Not Work For Me.

Heard nothing good about Chinese car lifts.
