Installing My BendPak XPR-10AS Two Post Lift From Summit Racing! Is It Worth Doing It Yourself?

What happens here

They adjust the chalk line to ensure the layout is perfectly square. Mike recommends using an L-shaped piece of metal to verify a perfect 90-degree corner. The process involves establishing a precise center point and then measuring outwards to achieve accuracy, ensuring the lift posts will be perfectly parallel.

Goal: Square the lift layout on the floor.

Tools and materials

  • Chalk Line — Adjusting guidelines on the floor
  • L-shaped Metal Piece — Ensuring perfect 90-degree corners
  • Marker Sharpie — Marking exact points on the floor
  • Tape Measure — Measuring distances from the center point

we're good yeah we'll just snap that line out farther so we make sure we have enough to reference it with i'll go like way out here just for fun i'm in wide configuration here it's 145 inches so we're going to measure out 145 on our line here and mark that out so we use the chalk line again from the center of the door to here finding the center by using something handy that i know is square i know i had this piece of metal cut and sheared at the metal place and all of their uh you know cutting mechanisms are really really precise so i can i can trust that this corner is a square or freaking dang enough close to it for what we're doing just held the chalk line up there made sure it was a right angle there and popped it to find the actual center of the door just uh just because we can don't really need to but if we have that it'll feel all warm and fuzzy inside just a little one more extra step of effort to make things nice while we're doing it you're not measuring that you're going we marked our center then you're going 72 and a half this way and then that way is that like the right way to do it or is that just how your brain likes it it's going to be easier to do it that way a lot easier okay versus that trying to split it in
