Bumping thread since lift people are on here v. Starting a new thread. I need to add hydraulic fluid to my reservoir. Does everyone utilize AW32? Which brand is best or are all products the same?

I use anti-wear anti-foam Iso46 in one of my lifts, other one has 32 in it. Both operate the same in hot or cold conditions. Lift calls for 46 or 32. Not much difference in brands, just make sure its anti-wear and has anti-foam agents in it. If you don't know what weight is in your reservoir for sure then I would drain it and replace all, don't mix weights.

Just installed the Atlas Apex 8 ALI Certified Hobbyist 8,000 Lb. 4 Post Lift. Was on sale so $2320 for lift, jack tray and larger 11 qt. telescoping oil drain. Picked it up with car trailer, shipping weigh is 2000lbs. Great lift, no problems. A few notes: Installed lift myself, except for the two runways. Had two of my workout buddies come over and help, they really earned lunch that day....The runways are very heavy, the left runway with the hydraulic cylinder more so than the right, probably over 500 lbs. When assembling without an engine lift, fork lift or other device you will need 4 strong people to assemble safely.

Another option. Just added 2 to my shop(1 reg and 1 xlt). Very nice,easy to deal with and come with some things that are optional with others.Attachment 30043Attachment 30044

I have the Advantage lift as well, super strong and over built. The standard 4 post lift is rated to hold 9,000 pounds. The lift mimics the Backyard Buddy 4 sided sleeve. With the included wheels the lift can be moved around the garage when you wish (done it several times, there is no flex or twist when moving).

I'm about to pull the trigger on an Advantage 4 post. The concern I have is the overall width of track measures about 75". At 75" it appears that the outside edge of my tires will be right on the edge of the ramps. But looking the pics below, looks like it will be fine.

If you get your car centered, all the tread is on the ramp(G5 ACRE and G4 with G5 wheels). You will enjoy your purchase.

Look into the Quality lifts. I've been very happy as have several friends in the area that have them. Search for GYMR 5.0...the left-hand lift is a Quality lift and the right-hand lift is an older Rotary. The Quality is a 220V and Rotary is 110V. Build quality is better IMO on the Quality lift.

Just make sure you have someone local that can service whatever lift you buy in case you need it. I had a couple warranty claims on the Quality lift (pump on the rolling jack leaked, and it turned out to be a loose screw from the factory) and they took care of everything without question.

Bumping this again. Anyone have a bendpak with their new RBJ45 (not the RJ45) rolling jack? Dealer said the drive over clearance is 4 inches and my GTS front lip sits at under 3.5 inches. I didn’t order it for now but seems ridiculous that it would t work with a stock suspension height viper.

The low point on a Viper is immediately in front of the wheels. Your car will be going up an incline on the ramps, so you can place your jack just past the entry onto your lift and the splitter won’t hit. Or if you back onto the lift, it clears easily.

Is that 4" height with or without the jacking pads and pedestals installed?

I was thinking of that. I was also looking into one of these and the jack try for jack stands. Less expensive option.

I believe it is the center of the jack. With the pads and no extensions it is 4.5 inches which I don’t think would fit under the frame jack points.
