I had planned on getting a 4 post as having the extra parking space beneath it would come in handy. I already keep 3 old cars in the garage, so am out of room when I want to work on one of my daily drivers. One of my DD is my 2500 crew cab Duramax, which weighs in at almost 10,000 lbs
Now last week my son informed me that his school is thinking of selling their lift from the automotive program. I emailed the teacher to confirm. It’s a Challenger E10 10,000 lb. lift. In another thread I started some say this will be tough to reach the lift points on my Duramax. I don’t know if I should hold out for a 4 post or go for a “deal” on this one. If it’s not going to work with my truck, I’ll just wait.
Just curious if anyone has used this lift or a similar one to lift trucks?
My wife drives a 2018 Suburban 4x4 BTW, which is a huge PIA to use a floor jack and jack stands on.

Can you do a test lift on your truck at the school to confirm?
Challenger 10K should lift it No problem.

I have a Bendpak 10K asymmetrical 2 post and it has no problem with my Quad cab diesel 4x4 RAM 3500 as long as I make sure to center the truck when parking to lift. I also use a support standunder the rear hitch if things are going to get physical. It adds a lot of stability on long wheel base.

What was the reason they said it would not work with your truck?
