    Thanks Platinum, We bought 13 + acres and have plenty of room, to build the shop we want, but still the county makes a guy jump through plenty of hoops to get what you want. I know living in TX makes building and adding on alot easier, a lot less red tape and hoops to jump thru. I still haven't...

    thanks for the info on the panther lifts..went to the site and down loaded the installation manual... 4 1/2" concrete 3000lbs is required. When your lifting your truck for the first time on that lift, how scary is getting that thing balanced and secured on the lift?

    great advice on the slab thickness.... 4 post lift, it sounds like the majority of guys favor and at least 10k. I'll look into getting the extra thickness for footings for the lift.

    T Bar can you place those overhead cranes on just a normal 4" slab or do you need thicker more rebar type footings, the 2 post lifts do they require engineered footings or can they be mounted on a 4"slab, would a 9k lift be adequate for a 3/4 ton ford super duty
