Do any of you have any recomendations?
Is one type better than another?
2 legs or 4?
What do they cost and can you get them used?

I looked at the higher priced/higher quality units but decided for my use this was OK. Three of us ordered at the same time and got a little discount so it ended up costing about $1950 shipped. Took us 3-4 hrs to assemble. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 56 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 56 | i have a backyard buddy that i am very happy with. great for storege and working . i feel safe with the latch/safety system that it has. i believe that is the most important thing to look at with lifts. mine is a 4 post.

I paid $1,800 for it, but now they cost $1,650 at Direct Lift in Indy. I'm very happy with it.
