I have never needed more than the 6-ton version. The 23.75" maximum height of the 6-ton version is usually enough. If not, thats what cribbing is for. I'm not sure that I could fit the 19.75" minimum height of the 12-ton version under any of the vehicles I need to support other than mu LJ, which renders the 12-ton version of limited use for me.

It depends on the rig and where they are going. I have two under the front bumper crossmember which is a touch higher than the belly frame.
I have four 12's, four 6's and four 3's.
I am honestly looking at them to work on our 2007 Nissan murano. Alternator went bad, I want it up high enough so I don't have to scrunch up in the wheel well to get everything out of the way.
No, but I have 4 of these holding my jeep up now. Currently $126.73

You can get to the too high but not high enough point too. Too high to comfortably reach for a long period of time but not high enough that you can sit under it which would be more comfortable.
A reason I now have a creeper that has a back that raises up.
That's next on my list!!!!!
Only because it's about $4xxx.xx cheaper than the lift I want
If I had the ceiling height I'd have a lift.
I am lucky, if the funds were unlimited, I would have 2, 4 post and 2, 2 post.
My shop is 40x60 with an inside height of 12-13 feet on the sides and 14 in the middle!!!!! 10" thick concrete floor.

I'm jealous.
I’ve got a neighborhood shop I keep trying to convince to let me rent lift space when he’s slow but I might just be driving to @John Cooper instead.
We got lucky, when we had our tractor dealership we had a 80x150 shop with 25 foot ceilings. We got a bargain in it, kept it 10 year's. Sold it downsized and built this one.
I am slowly trying to clean it back up and organize it.
We just seem to have to much stuff my dad calls it things we might use one day
I dunno...I see that shop picture and think...Man, that guy needs more stuff. Look at that open wall and floor space!
And if I had that space, I would have a lift, no question about it.
