Height of the columns was of major concern... could not do a two post lift due to ceiling height (would have had to cut holes into the ceiling drywall to install two post lift)... so I needed a four post lift that had columns that were 84" and that would allow 1 1/2" clearance as the garage door was raised. Many four post lifts have 86"-88"+ columns and then I found the Direct Lift had the dimensions I wanted (column height is 83 1/2" which includes the cable adjuster nut).

Also the more I read about lift certifications (or lack there of) that came important too...Direct Lift (and Bend Pak lifts) have all the newer certs including 3rd party certifications>>
