Default 4 Post Lifts

Hello All. I'm interested in putting a 4 post lift in my garage so that I can stack my 2 XKRs. I've narrowed the search to the Advantage DX-9000-XLT or the Wildfire WF9000. Since the Jaguar X100 chassis is low to the ground I am concerned with scraping the nose or dragging the belly as I drive on or off the lift. Does anyone have any experience with these lifts, or other 4 post lifts that work for them?

Thanks!!

These lifts are pretty much all 5" from the ground so its going to be all about the length of the ramps. I expect the standard 36" ramps will be fine. I don''t have any problem with driving my lowered Supra onto the lift and its pretty low. Get a yardstick, prop one end up 5" and the other end under the tire and see if it touches any part of the car. If so, you can get 48" extended ramps as an option, just maybe not from those vendors. But do yourself a favor and go ahead and order a set of extended aluminum ramps anyway. The standard steel ramps are really heavy and for some reason, they get heavier the older you get. I bought my lift when I was much younger and now I keep thinking about ordering a set of these.

Great minds think alike. Same position as you and haven't committed yet but looking at Bendpak options in the next year or two. No experience except a few YouTube guys I/we follow use them (Hoovie, Tavarish, others). Pricing looks pretty decent. I'm ready to get a matching XJR, but can't pull the trigger until I do one of these first because I won't leave it out in the elements (re: hail, UV, etc). Gotta get my garage decluttered a bit more, repainted, and concrete stained first. There's a process to meet the objective:

Thanks for the input guys! I’m looking forward to more comfortably getting underneath the cars. And with freeing up a bay in the garage .... you never know what might wander in 😆
