Bud has two in his body shop and they work very well for what he does. Keep in mind you have no access to the bottom of the vehicle when its on it.

did you lift it all the way up? i'm figuring the rating is not if it can lift it but if it can do it safely

I understand that, didnt say its desgned to do it but it did it and yes it went all the way up, lot easier to work on the rockers and lower cab sections while sitting in a office chair as well the roof while its lowered all the way down with no tires. It was on the lift for four days and no issues.

nice now i'm wishin i had one for my project but as long as you checked for stability before you do anything i'd use it. might be a little wary of crawling under the truck unless there is a mechanical lock of some sort
