What size 2 post lift for 2500?

[Wayne M.]

A lift superstore?! Showroom? Where is this?

 

[Axel]

The store is in Oakville, just outside of Toronto Canada. They have various locations in the USA also.
I did some research on the web and they have been in business for quite some time and can get you parts for the lift quickly. They also rebuilt hydraulic cylinders on site for you while you wait if need be.
Once I have it up and my truck on it I will post some pictures. Might be next weekend....

Finished the install of my lift. decided to test it with my wife's blue tech diesel first...

Nice, I'm jealous.

I have been wanting one for ten years. Being home with the Covid 19 thing I cleaned out my garage and basement and started selling some stuff I no longer needed. My son was over and we replaced the front hubs, balljoints and u joints in the front of his CTD. Told my wife how much easier this would be with a lift. She said why don't you buy one ? I said because they are expensive . Her reply was that I sold almost enough to pay for it....I took advantage of the green light from my wife and the next day me and my son where on the 9 hour road trip and brought it home.....

What ceiling height do you have in your garage ?

 

[Axel]

I have 146 inches. The lift I bought can be assembled at 145 inches or 140 inches. I opted for the shorter one since it would have been really tight to install with only 1 inch clearance.

Here are some more pictures for height...

Wow!! I guess a lot of us are jealous. The owner of the house we bought in AZ, had this in mind and poured a 6 inch slab in the 3rd bay of the 3 car garage. 14 ft ceilings and now all I need is the bosses Green Light.. Very nice job. Congrats.

 

[Cummins12V98]

NICE!

What did you use for anchors? How thick is the slab?

 

[HPSimpson]

I sure like the 6" slab that will make for easier install, great thanks for the pictures.

and now all I need is the bosses Green Light..

This is on Mohawks FB page, pretty impressive stuff.

At the 2019 Mid America Trucking Show in Louisville, KY Mohawk had a semi truck with trailer lifted. Very impressive equipment.....

 

[Axel]

My slab is 6 inches. The lift came with 6 Anchors per side 3/4 DIA hole. It is very solid with my wife ML on it.
I will post another picture once my truck is on it. Might be a while so since my wife ML needs a lot of TLC.....
That was part of the deal. I get the lift and fix her baby first. She is driving the sedan in the meantime and does not like getting in and out of it ( to low to the ground...)

We actually demo’d these Mohawks, and honestly they didn’t do very good. Not as good as the Koni’s we currently have. They typically can be ganged up to as many as you need. We should use 6, but 4 does the trick. Some trucks, you need to chock the rear you’re lifting to keep the bogie from going full swing and tearing the brake hoses.
These are VERY expensive.

We also have cross beams for frame contact to do brake work as shown here.
