Susan and I are looking to buy a 2-post style car lift.  My 
understanding is there are two types of lifts, hydraulic cylinder 
lifts and electric motor/chain lifts.

Are there any advantages or disadvantages to either type?  So far 
what appears to be the best deal or bang for the buck is one from 
Autolifters ( http://www.autolifters.com ), which is the hydraulic 
cylinder type.

They have a special on right now with free shipping through the 
end of November and a free set of truck extenders for use on 
vehicles with running boards (like my 51 dodge truck!).   

If any of you have experience with 2 post lifts we sure would like 
to hear what you have to say.  Oh yeah, the main reason for 
choosing a 2 post over a 4 post model is the ability of being able 
to change wheels/tires on a 2 post lift.

Thanks!
