I've been stewing about a two post so I can pull the wheels off and do break work etc. Still looking for the right deal. I did the same and opted for the four post and sliding jack that allows lifting off the tires front or back. Conduct is the best proof of character.

I'd like to add a lift in the future.

I'd like to add a lift in the future. 4" with rebar will be fine for a 4 post lift. I like to see a little more for a 2 poster. My shop floor is 6" with rebar. To anger a conservative, lie to him.

I'd like to add a lift in the future. A four inch three K design was the basis per the previous builder's drawings that I have. Deeper design was built for the last stall where the Kubota resides to handle the original design intent. . Conduct is the best proof of character.
