Id do 4 post then. Dont know the reqirements for securing to the floor...looks like it would take a heck of a lot of bolts and a large base platform. The 4 post you can actually move with casters if needed and dont even need to bolt to the floor.
I need to find my in floor pex lines before i do the 2 post. If i cant im doing the 4.

Congrats on the R! I'm in the market for one at $10k over, but haven't had any "real" luck. Just shady dealers not willing to put anything in writing...
As for the 4 post lift, I have a Quality brand lift. Love it. I'm in Raleigh, NC if you'd like to check it out... Six Forks / 540 area. (I'm impatient, so I'll probably give up and get another Viper instead.)

Nice, I'm a Mopar fan as well. I'd have a Viper if it were comfortable for me. When I sat in one I felt like I had to duck in order to see out of the windshield. The seat was all that way down on the floor as well...:shrug:Congrats on the R! I'm in the market for one at $10k over, but haven't had any "real" luck.

That's how they are...it feels like you have a ball cap on and pulled down to your eyebrows....ha ha
I just lean the seat back...they are snug, but comfortable once you're sttapped in

Yeah they are pricy, someone local with a similar stable is getting one for the same reason, takes up less floor space and is obstruction free.
I live in an earthquake state so I would go with the 4 post just for the stability

Love the viper. looked at getting a ACER but this R is just to good for the money. Now if you the ACER was 100k it would be a TOUGH call. Who installed the lift? local folks? Thanks for invite I might take you up on it.Congrats on the R! I'm in the market for one at $10k over, but haven't had any "real" luck. Just shady dealers not willing to put anything in writing...

Good questions. Honestly until I got this window sticker I didn't think about the R to much after I gave them my deposit as I didn't really believe it would come thru. So, I'm just now thinking about the lift. You make a good point on the no bolt vs casters. I know my builder looked up the concrete amount needed for a bolt in 7 or 8,000 vehicle lift before he poured the concrete so we didn't have to worry so I'm fine either way I'm sure but will check the specifics on both one post (AC Lift) and Benpak 4 post.

Quality and Challenger brands are essentially the same. They are a little more pricy than the Chinese made lifts, but I wanted something that would last. I had a local vendor deliver and install it.
Came up to $4,300 installed with metal drip trays. I can get you the information if you ate interested. I just PM'd you my information if you want to check it out.
Would love to check out R when you get it. BTW, if you are ever in the market for a Viper, I have THEE hook up. At OR below invoice pricing.

Being at the right place at the right time has much to do with it. That AND it helps to be a good fellow. You checked those boxes with the help of a fellow Canadian.
With actually digging for a 5k here in the states you would probably have to contact 2000 dealers to MAYBE get a 5k.
A friend helped me get two 10k allocations...and they were'nt easy. I know he contacted over 800 dealers.. i was utterly annoyed at around the 250 mark.

I am a VERY lucky SOB indeedWow! another lucky SOB
So in principle, we agree. The only thing I didn't think you could do was pull off a 5K ADM for the car, but you've already checked that box. Congrats!
Just happened that a user on here stumbled across my thread and happened to reach out to me. Never expected to have a chance at getting an R, but luckily will be taking delivery hopefully in a few weeks or by the end of August!

I hear you...try having your first thread ever about being excited to get a R and having it taken over by ADM know it all. Bummer for sure. I do look forward to learning from those that know much more than I about these wonderful cars. Thank you to the informative positive folks I appreciate your Imput on this thread and I guess we should shut it down and move on.
