I am considering a 4-post lift for my garage. I will need it to work on the 74/80 Spider and to store the 74 Spider below it.
I would like to see how others have used the 4-post lift for repair work. Most of the lifts have about 37" between the main runners, runner widths of 18" and with a wheel base of 52" that means the wheels are on the inside 7.5" on each runner.
So, how do you support the car on jack stands on the lift? Are the ramps in the jack pan and then supporting the axle or front suspension? Is it possible to use jack stands beneath the jack points and if so where does the base of the jack stand rest?
Will I need to have two jack pans to support the car on four jack stands.
I know others have done this and if you have photos to share, please do.
TIA.
