Dannmar Maxjax 2 post lift system
I've used one at a friend's garage. Quick thoughts:
- it works well, but with shorter cars you can't just park them and put the arms underneath. you need to push the car forward, swing in the front arms, roll it backwards and then swing in the rear arms. i suppose if the columns were farther apart, it would help.
- if you can fit a full-height lift, buy a full height lift. the maxjax is great for most stuff, but it's nice to be able to stand underneath a car when doing fluids, a clutch, or other work under there.

Thanks for your responses guys, I wish I could fit the full size lift but ceiling limitation in my house held me back and opted to go with MaxJax.
Install was not that bad, I had trouble with first 3 set of holes drilling due to not proper drill. Also ran into some floor thickness issue which ranged from 4"- 5"-1/2. I used epoxy to set my anchers just to be extra safe and peace of mind. Bleeding was easy and tested the lift to ensure everything is in order. I wished that the hoses they provided was another 4-5' longer. I set my width to 125" b/c I have Acura MDX as well as Mini Cooper along with my Pcar which all seems to fit in just fine.
This weekend I have to change brakes/rotors on Mini, I'll see how things work out.
