    I have a Direct Lift, 8000 Lb.  Mine has a little extra length and will put 6' 9" under the runways.  With my 13' at the center of the shop I can put the Heap all the way up if'n I want to.  That's too high to work on but it sure makes working under it nice.  Bought it from an outfit in Fort Worth...the name may come to me someday...and I got the hydraulic rail jack with it...very handy.

    Greg Smith.  Has Atlas and other stuff.  I think mine is the same as Atlas but with a different label slapped on it.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Now I be even more confused on what to get. I was leaning towards Bendpak but they are pricey.

    Whatever you get, Gary, I strongly suggest you pop for the hydraulic rail jack.  I got the
    3500 lb one with my lift and it really adds versatility.

    I was looking at Bendpak and Rotary, but bought the Direct Lift because it was cheaper than both and, as far as I could tell, was identical to the Rotary except for the paint color.

    Brahahaha! Bobo, that's about the fourth answer you've given for the same question on this thread!

    Not that I've EVER  done that.

    And btw, I finally got the tranny slipped in after a week of trying. Yup, she was a fighting me.
