- Are you considering buying a car lift? Two post lift vs. four post lift? Safety vs. Convenience? You are probably considering these and other factors. Specifically, you may be wondering how could you lift the front or rear axles of your car on a 4 post lift to do suspension work... Or, perhaps you already own a 4 post lift and are considering what to buy next to lift the front or rear axles - scissor jacks, air jacks, or the very expensive rolling air jacks.
In this video, I will show that you don't need to purchase anything else beyond what you probably already have - a jack and jack stands - in order to do suspension work using a four post lift as if you were working with a two post lift - but with the added safety of a 4 post lift.
Sure, if money were no object, then you could purchase a $2,000 rolling air jack. However, even then you will have the huge jack right below the suspension or the differential curtailing your work.
The method I demonstrate takes just a few more minutes to setup, but it is just as safe without the bulky rolling air jack blocking your view or access - besides, it costs far less. Compared to scissor and air jacks, it is a lot safer. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
As told in another comment, your approach is quite convincing. I've always been pleased using platform lifts in underground garages in Europe. They are indeed extremely safe. Can you reveal your four post lift brand and cost? And to your knowledge, are four post lifts available that do not require concrete anchors. Cold climate garage concrete floors are often hydronic heated ones and do not allow drilled fasteners.
Hi Michel - the one I have can be screwed to the ground also. I chose not to anchor it to the ground. Here is the link to it. I cannot recommend it enough:

@@masood-tv Hi Masood - Many thanks for the link. I will seriously consider this lift.
Hi Masood thanks for amazing videos on w220 they are really useful and helpful. I really appreciate your work. Though i have a question do you think a 90AH 720A car battery is sufficient for w220 s320?
Hi - Thanks for your kind words. I would recommend only MB batteries. I think you will want to search for part 001-982-82-08. But, please double-check with your owner's manual and get the correct battery for your car.
Agreed, there is much wisdom in purchasing the best possible battery for our W220
Certainly must not be a flooded battery with liquid which produces hydrogen upon charging. This is why AGM battery is specified.
My new battery is an Odyssey TPPL which is superior to the OEM AGM battery, it was just under 400 after tax. Warranty is 4 years of zero cost replacement, and terms are very favorable if failure does occur.
My other Oddysey TPPL battery is manufactured in 2012 and still very strong after 12 years.
A very long lifetime makes this a cost effective option.
Hope this helps!
Masood I'm so confused.. why put jacks on a car lift??
Hi, to raise the wheels for any suspension work, for example...
