I also use a line of tape to get my 3A on the 4-post BendPak; The inside
edges of the tires are just barely on the tracks. A great outfit (nfi) has
been http://www.asedeals.com/garage_lift.html. I purchased the BendPak there
also a low profile AC Hydraulic jack. No problems with either and both are
on my top 5 shop tools.

The tape is a good idea. I ended up moving one side of the track over 16
inches to make sure I did not fall in the hole!
Been so busy - I use mine more or storage than anythign else - does come in
handy for filling the diff and tranny.
