At first glance, all two-post lifts may seem the same, but there are significant distinctions between them. A two-post lift with an asymmetrical design allows you to lift and move your car away from the posts so that you can open the doors without any interference. This configuration is ideal for vehicles but not recommended for long-wheelbase trucks. Symmetrical two-post lifts offer more width between the posts than asymmetrical configurations, making it an ideal choice for lifting vehicles with a long wheelbase.
