Excellent video and appreciate the links. I set my columns 120" apart because I had a fairly wide variety of vehicles to lift. It works fine for my Corvettes with frames (C2 and C3) and Mazda 6 with pinch seam (though a little tight and you have to get the cars wheels exactly in the right spot). My '06 Ford Ranger with frame is still a no go at this spacing because the frame rails are so far inboard. My '59 Austin Healy Sprite works but only if I move the car back to get the front arms to clear the wheels, then forward to get the back arms to clear, then center it up. I have mostly used it for my 'vettes and it has been great, but if I had to do it again I would probably space them a little wider.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the column spacing. Very helpful for anyone doing this install.
Next video put the Corvette on it and show us how the lift actually works, speed of lift, working clearances under the car, etc.
