2 post lift

[Timmy390]

My rig almost fell off a 2 post. All I could do is watch and pray it didn't fall.

I have 2 arm 12,000 BedPak installed myself. Works great but still take time to strap on Bronks because as noted above, no great lifting points. And use jack stands. And look carefully at lift certifications to confirm USA reputable organization. Some lifts have "in house" or shady certifications. You want a cheap pacemaker ?

where did u get the bedpak and how much

I've got a Mohawk a7. Best lift out there. Yeah it's expensive but so is my life. Lift point for and eb are beside the front most leaf spring hanger and the flat spot on the frame just ahead of the radius arm bracket. The Mohawk has adapters to reach up and around the radius arm to access the flat spot.
The Mohawk is full hydraulic without any balance cable so there is no overhead or floor mounted tracks to get in the way. A pair of safety stands are a good idea as well.

I ordered from factory. Will see if can find what I paid.

I agree Mohawk great lift, recommend by a professional mechanic friend. I needed the 12k lift for farm trucks and that model was out of my budget.

I had a 10K lift 2 post ..bought from our local Ford house a few months ago. $500.00 ... But it was 4inches to tall for my shop .
... So now I on the hunt for a 4 Post .. every one has convented me the 2 post is not Bronco friendly....
... I found one in DuncanVille for 2000K.
Im just not wanting to give that much.

I have an Atlas 2-post 9000 lb lift from Greg Smith and it's worked well for 4 years. I know its not American made but for the limited "hobby" use that I do it has been great and priced right. I have had no issues lifting early Broncos, full size Broncos, Wagoneers, and TJ and JK Jeeps on it. It was easy to install with the help of a buddy or 2.

I also have an Atlas 2-post, PV-9HP. I lift our GMC 2500 extended cab 8' bed diesel and simalar ford, along with a 6.8l F250 4 door.
Placement is critical with the diesel's. I bought the lift from gregsmithequipment.com for cheaper than I could find worn out used lifts.

Oh, sorry. I shouldn't be reading this while at work...with nothing to do.

Well said. I went with a Mokawk 10K lift figuring I would want that for my heavy F250 diesel but after seeing how overbuilt it is, I could have gotten away with the A7. No way I could say that about any of the other lifts I looked at.
I bitch constantly about the crap quality of the parts we don't seem to be able to make here anymore and really didn't want to trust my life under a lift of the same questionable quality.

I've got a Worth, the steel this thing is made out of makes all the others look dinky. Base plate is huge also. Best price around too! American made in Texas. What else would you want?

Yeah I called the Mohawk rep for a price when I was researching lifts. He didn't call me back so I figured I a one man show and Mohawk wasn't interested in selling one lift. Well about 2 weeks later the president of Mohawk called me to see if the rep had answered my questions. I told him no one had called. He was apologetic and kept me on the phone for 20 mins and sold me on the a7. He said I would easily lift any truck I have. Their service and tech support are outstanding. I had two steel riggers that were working on my shop help me set it up. The columns are 900 lbs each so having guys that know how to move heavy stuff was great.
