everyone i know uses the Rotary brand 7000lb lift (2 post, asymetrical). it has been FLAWLESS, I highly recommend them. the trick to installation is to use an engine hoist to stand up the verticals, then it all bolts together. right around $2500 - a little expensive but worth every penny, and built like it will last a lifetime. it needs a lot of vertical space, it's like 10' high...it's bolted to the slab with expansion bolts - the weight of the car ends up pretty close to balanced, so it doesn't want to lean that much...

they make a 9k version if it also.
