OK, finally installed my lift. It wasn't too difficult to install. Some stupid mistakes on my side, and some poor directions.

If anyone is interested in the Dannmar 4 post lift, I highly recommend it. It works and looks great. Here is a link to the build video Dailymotion - D-7 Automotive Lift Installation Demonstration - a Auto-Moto video

I installed it myself with the exception of putting in the runways. At about 300+ pounds a piece it was rather heavy. At first I was planning on using an engine hoist. But in the end I simply used 3 friends to help me. I only needed their assistance for about 45min max.

I'll take some pictures when I get a chance. I still have to reposition one of the rafter beams so I can put the car to full height.

If anyone is considering getting this and wants a little extra help on putting it together, email me. There are a few things that if I knew in advance it would have saved some time. All in, I probably spent about $2500 (including the lift, oil pans, wheels to move the lift, drip pans, ramps, transportation directly into my garage, and hydraulic oil).

I'll upload pictures soon.
