    Thanks for the info guys, I will have to look at getting my garage opener relocated which is shitty because I just moved into a new house in June. Wish I had the option or remembered to get the side mount opener. Anyone have that done before their lift was installed? If so how much did it run you?


    $1700 ish when I got quoted last

    Can’t remember. But don’t those single posts have a foot underneath the vehicle?
    Yeah they have a bit of a foot. The one in the Vaults pic is an American Custom Lifts M-1, you can see it in the pictures on their site.

    There is ways to avoid a side mount if you want. Can raise tracks and use your regular opener by adding a dummy panel I did this first. Side mounts aren’t hard to install and I did one myself too so don’t let it scare you. My lift is a direct lift and no concerns as well and has been amazing.
    How much did that run you? I asked the garage people and the lady mentioned in the $2k range like JfuckinC mentioned

    If you can just find a used panel as it can’t be seen the labor and install with change out of springs was 700-800 I think. Then later on garage door is setup for if u want a jack shaft opener and can do yourself. Splits costs for you and then you can remove the panel yourself too.

    It’s my project over last 10 years haha. There isn’t a piece on truck that hasn’t been replaced I don’t think. Coil overs on front/coil overs on rear with wishbone suspension with supercharged 383 backed by 4l80e

    Beware of the China built hydraulic powerpacks if your lift installation coincides with an electrical inspection, that bit me in the ass and put me behind months.

    Also the hydraulic fittings have a tendency to sweat. Keep checking them.

    Here's a little bit of what I had to do to pass inspection and the proper way to wire up the lift power pack
    There are some lifts being shipped with motors that won't pass inspection no matter what because they don;t have enough nameplate info to satisfy the Canadian electric code.
    The lift motors typically don't have any internal thermal protection, so you must provide and external overload which is not the breaker. The breaker is there for the wire, not the load. Second, if you read the fine print on some of the labels, the manufacturer specifies a higher temperature of wire on the feeder circuit than what is typically used in general wiring.

    Looks like liftking now carries single post lifts as well. Goes for 7.5k which doesn’t seem too crazy compared to a 4 post.
