FYI you really should "drill" in some reinforced concrete footings through the slab for the legs on the lifts. A 3" slab in a residential garage is nothing to stand these things on.

Do you really think so? Most have a fairly thick (1/2" or so) 12"x12" plate on the bottom of each post. Though they don't perfectly distribute the weight, the contact patch is still much larger than the contact patch of a tire. The lift and my Pantera together weigh less than a large SUV. But then again, you turn around and park another car right under it don't you? Still, I've never heard of a floor giving out under a lift.

Ahh, don't sweat it Doug. Buy a lift!

Have a good one.
