Ive seen some on ebay, 9' 3" post height, which IIRC is about as small as they come. 9,000 pound capacity, so unless your truck is loaded to GVWR (9,200) you should be fine in terms of weight. Around 1400 dollars, which really is a darn good price for what you get IMO.

Try a search...I think this was talked about before, and I beleive Eric (dmaxallitech) said he had all "rotary" lifts at his shop...

I was looking at ammco, 9000lbs cap, needs 12.5' of head room, which is good cause I'm 6'6" so I need all the head room I can get.:exactly:

IIRC you need a certain thickness of concrete floor too for two post lifts...remember to take that into consideration. ;)

Let us know when you get it installed!!
