Got my new lift!

[Newport 66]

After doing research I took the plunge and bought this Bendpak MD-6XP mid height lift. I can't put a full height lift in my shop due to ceiling height restrictions.
This will make shop life much easier and get me off my knees and back for most service on the cars.
The icing on the cake for purchasing this was $100 discount and free shipping!
I'm working on the set up today. I'm like a kid at Christmas....lol

When you get it up and running, let us know how it works, and PICTURES PLEASE.

Based in Santa Paula, CA. I will be at my sister’s house there tonight for supper.
I have a Bend Pak 4 post lift that I will put together later this year.

I think that thing is pretty heavy, like 3-400 pounds.

Do you have the air lift components that allow you to raise the car on the lift so you can work on the suspension? I bought those and am curious as to how they work.

Designed in the USA, Made in China. Major FAIL right there!!! But I do like the idea of a mini lift for reasons like you say. Good Luck

no, not at home. huge mistake on my part for never having purchased them. have them at work and they're a fantastic combination with a drive on. only jobs i wouldn't want to do with them is fwd transmissions, other than that a drive on with roll arounds is the absolute cats-***. best of luck with yours, i know you'll love it.

I had to wait about a week to get a replacement power unit, as the first one was damaged in shipment. Got it up and lifting today. Works great!! I've also got the optional tall lift pads. Should work great on my truck.
