garage guy got the door within 8 inches of the ceiling! great job and the car goes plenty high for me to stand under it to work. hope you like as much as me!!!
it's a revolution lift made by rotary lift. NOT CHEAP, but not the priciest either. paid just under 5 grand for the lift, garage mod, and install. WORTH EVERY LAST PENNY. By the way, the slicks and skinnies in the background were bought off Tom B, on here a few days ago, he was awesome to deal with.
it is the smaller one not the xlt model. main diff is the raised height capabilities. and the ramps were not standard ones, these were slightly higher priced but worth it. the viper gets on and off with no rubbing.
Sounds good, thanks. I'm looking at the same one but wasn't sure if the longer ramps are needed or if the standard ones will allow the Viper to drive on/off without hitting the front end.
i would def get the longer ramps, they were expensiv, like under a 100 i think but like i said, o scratching here. the shorter ones def. will rub the belly and chin.
gary, here's the deal, I believe my gts is aprox 40" tall. i roughly measured it with a tape recently when doing this. the lift i got says it raises a max height of 5'3" off the ground. so if you take the max lift height, or converted into inches 63" (5'3") and stacked another viper on top of the 63" you are now 103" up to the roof of the top viper. 103" is 8 ft 6 " roughly. The tracks will hang 8-9 inches from the ceiling so considering your garage is 114" tall minus the 9" lower clearence when the door is open you got an inside clearence of 105" So sorry for the math lesson, wasn't being cocky, just showing you how i came to my answer that Yes you should be very tight, but plenty good. remember that i am figuring on the lift being in the max raised height, which you really don't need to clear the bottom viper so you should be plenty good on the space Gary. I just wanted to show you that if you didnt have a car under there it would be able to raise up to the max height and you can go to work under there keeping big red shiny looking. If you need any other advice on this pm me and i will be glad to give you my number to discuss it.
thanks for all the compliments guys. Aw ell paying occupation is only half the key to owning something like this, the bigger half is having a wife who understands and accepts such an obsession.
Beautiful set up - Thre only thing I did a little different is I have a caster kit for my lift. You raise the lift to the first stop and set the caster in place, as you lower the platform it raises the whole lift - takes a couple people to roll out of the shop. Then I can use it outdoors to power wash the underneath of my cars. Wished I would have done the checkerboard!
