garage lift

Can anyone help me out with suggestions on auto lifts? Does anyone put their TT on a lift...If so, what brand?

Depends on what you want to use it for. Can you be more specific?

Then a basic 4 post lift is probably best for you.

Was anything wrong with it? Seems really compact and leaves you a lot of space in a tight garage. How much $$ do they go for?

Looks like they sell for around $5000. I will have to look for more reviews...Looks really sharp.

I use a ROTARY brand two-post asymetrical lift and regularly put the TT on it. Storage lifts are OK, but they offer limited access for repairs and then you need separate trolly jacks to remove the tires, etc. With a good two-post service lift you get both features - storage and easy service. ROTARY has probably more lifts in dealerships and repairs shops than any other brand - quality stuff.
