    Best lift points for 2 post shop lift?

    I liked that 2nd one, going for the full roll. Any vehicle that goes on the lift gets the full push/pull/shake test before I even think about going under it. A couple jack screws go a long way. 4 of them pretty much eliminate any risk of lift failure. I like to think I'd never have the...
