I very much like my Rotary two post asymetrical lift. The price is just a
little more than the others but if you go into a dealership or pro shop the
lifts will likely be Rotarys. The only thing I don't like about the lift is
that the posts are forever in the way of the front doors and body work.
Just a pain but not insurmountable. Wish I had an inground lift for body
work and a spare outside for pressure washing and sandblasting.... In my
next life perhaps...
