Hi John,

A friends shop I often use has a two-post "symmetrical" lift.
Probably rated for over 10,000 lbs safe workload.
Does not matter which direction the vehicle is placed on the lift.
Wheels down is preferred� (the freyday fun part:-)

On an Asymmetric lift, meaning unequal length lift arms?
I have no experience with this form of lift..
I will speculate.. since most conversional vehicles are front-engined.
Backing a Vanagon would be the conventional direction�:-)

On a rock off the West Coast.

Hi All,
Is anyone using a Asymmetric two post lift in their shop
and if so Is it alright to back into it
so that the Vanagon engine faces my work bench?
Any tricks to it?
Thanks,
John C..
