2 post lift for low ceiling

Re: 2 post lift for low ceiling

Jeff, this might make your springs happy but not your frame.
If you have it suspended for any appreciable time it will show up in the door gap at the front. I know it's been discussed at times on the board. Given all the weight that sits forward of the lift points that's why the 4 post are used for storage.

I'm just mentioning so you can avoid some heartache.

Cheers.

I have left cars for months suspended either on axle stands, approximately the same lift points, and never had a problem with the door opening gaps changing.

Re: 2 post lift for low ceiling

my 63 has been sitting up there way more then any of my other cars.
Over the last 10 years there has been no noticeable change to any of the door gaps.
Only side affects have been better feeling springs.

I am not too concerned about extended storage of the older cars on the 2 post.
Certainly might not want to put a late model up there for a long time, but the old ones seem to like it.
