Default automotive lift question

I'm wondering if they sell shorter type arms for lifts ? Anyone see anything ever sold ?

I think you need to sit back, take a deep breath, and click the "edit post" button.

Lack of sleep and non stop work didn't help that post, I edited it up.

How do the arms mount? That ~1" pin that holds them on at the hinge? I bet if you called around a bit you can buy arms from another manufacturer that fits.

Compare the arms on your original lift to see if they'd fit on the new lift.

Yes, I was researching the lift ( we bought it used ) I guess its called a 2 in 1 so it utilizes both features of a asymmetrical lift and a nonsymmetrical lift. Getting use to it now, its not that bad.

ah, its like ours, where the arms are super adjustable then right? I'm not sure if they make shorter/longer arms, we've fit everything on our lift from porsches, crossfires, 240s, civics, mustangs, f350s, supras, corollas, etc on ours without issue

Is it an Ammco ? The arms aren't really super adjustable, they are normal pretty much. I believe its more so how the post are designed, which makes it the two in one.
