Just bought a bendpak 4 post lift and need someone to put it together. Problem is that I live about an hour north of Milwaukee. Anyone have a contact to get this thing assembled for me?

Thanks guys

I bought one several years back, great 4-post lift. You will need about 4 friends to set the ramps, besides you. A little advice, remove the pull on the end of each ramp before you set them in place.

Also, I would use hydraulic oil instead of transmission fluid. I had an issue with the ram using trans fluid, the ram made allot of chattering noise. I went to the hydraulic oil and it works perfect. The only issue with using hydraulic oil…it moves a little slower in the colder weather.

Not to go off topic but...

Of course the nagging question here is do TWO Vettes get them twice as wet?

thanks, but i'm not looking to do any of the installation if i can avoid it. i'd rather have someone that does these quite often do the install. i'm willing to pay good money as well, just want it done by a professional.
