[AT] New Shed and Lift

Sat Jul 3 04:54:11 PDT 2004

ED:
    If you want a used lift start looking for a 9000 or 10000 lb
lift.  If you are after a new lift get a 10000.  Most of your
dually diesels weigh over 9000 with a hay bed on them.
I hope you have 4 plus inches of concrete for the lift to
bolt to.  I don't think they make a 8000 lb lift.
