Do you plan on major work on your car up on the 4-post or mostly storage?
I’m researching the Forward 2-post and like the I10 model but may move up to the DP10A because it has a German made electric motor instead of Asian.
Your ‘68 looks great up there, all high and mighty!
I did the same mostly for storage but will use it for working on cars as well. Mine is also an 8000lb. Picks up my 6400lb New Yorker effortlessly.

What did you do for the high lift door? Are you happy or is there a better way now you know better?
No change in springs or pulleys?I just cut some of my tracks that ran along the ceiling back when it was at the 7' level and mounted those lengths higher up the way extending what was already there. Just wish I had a 12' ceiling. I may add on the garage and go double deep someday and will at least raise the rear addition to 12' then if the city allows it.
No, I just added a few quarter turns to the tension pulleys.No change in springs or pulleys?
Any issues with the installers? I need the contact info.
What Brand hoist do you have? I'm looking at adding one in my pole barn. Still not decided on two or 4 post though.Forward 8000 LB. No more crawling around on the damn floor. Dang that under body is filthy.......

I have a BendPak HD9-XW, but it is in a building with alot of height. As mentioned, mostly used for storage.
A 2-Post is good for doing service work. It is alot easier to get under the vehicle and gives better access to the under side of the car.
The 2-Post does good thick concrete for mounting, and not to easy to change the installed position.
The 4-post can usually be placed on standard garage floor concrete, and does not need to be bolted down if the floor is level.
With a wheel kit option it is pretty easy to move the lifts placement if needed.
