Anyone with a four post lift, what do you use to lift the wheels off the runways? (other than a different 2-post)

I’ve seen various options. Would love the rolling bridge jack made for the actual model but it’s so expensive.

we had a four post and it had two rolling bridges that are used to lift vehicle off it's wheels. I think thats what it is called. it's like a jack.

Yeah the lift manufacturer makes one specifically for the lift, which makes me feel like it’s the best choice, but it’s just about as much as the lift itself was. It’s most likely worth it, just wasn’t sure what the other options might be. The company who sold it to me and dropped it off said they have them at their home and they just use a scissor jack and jack stands. :unsure:

I am not a shop so I won’t be using it everyday, maybe a few times a month at most. I should probably consult the warranty and make sure it doesn’t mention anything about “improper usage”.
