why do you want a 4 post? You are limiting the amount of work you can do unless you throw in a few air jacks. They take up a lot more space. I recommend a 10,000 lb asymetric 2 post. There's not much you can't do with it and they don't take up a ton of space. You can score one of those for around $2400 shipped if you beat them up on the $

Just remember with the drive on's your wheels will be still on the ground unless you buy the air jacks. I've worked with these guys quite a bit and I always negotioated their prices down quite a bit.
