I have a question bout the lift. Is it just bolted to the floor? What if the vech lifting is alot more heavy on the front or back?

those cfl bulbs are great but I suggest investing in some big time commercial fluorescent tubes to mount up. I got six of them in my garage and they light up every crevice of my Jeep when I'm working at night. Good stuff, clean sharp white light

The rear arms have a longer reach/extension length than the front arms. The hoist is rated at 9 or 10000 pounds. It lifts and holds up my 1 ton no problem. The cement anchors that hold the bases down are huge.

Could you please send me a link to a fixture like you have? Thanks.

Man you have a nice garage/shop. I hit my head in numerous location in my (my dads) garage... I hope I get something better before I am 50, no offense. Looks great.

Just read every page and that is an impressive job you did with most of it by yourself.
Awesome layout and design to save waste.. Giving thumbs up for this thread ..

I dont have anything fancy, just conventional commercial grade shop lights kinda like these guys at home depot: Commercial Electric Extra Wide Reflector 4 Ft. Shop Light with Pull Chain Switch - HBSL-35 at The Home Depot

Mine came without the pull chain switch and so I just hard-wired them in my garage, makes a nice amount of light and its easy on the eyes because its well distributed
