Fortunately, that main arm support is only about 10-1/2" wide, but that's a lot if it's directly under what you need to get to, which Murphy will probably have a big say in. The lifting pads will adjust to give me 6" of lift higher than the main support, which would probably be enough for routing exhaust, fuel/brake lines, etc. However, one of my objectives for the car is to install a T-5 which will require a lot of floor tunnel and cross member work, right above where the lift's main support will likely be. I may end up on jack stands for that project. But that's only one of many projects I have planned for the car, and most of the others won't require access to that 10-1/2" section of the undercarriage, or won't require the lift at all. The 2-post would be great, but I couldn't pull the car all the way into the garage and fully open both doors to work on the interior, repair floors, route wiring, etc. It's a trade-off.

You may find that using a lift for some tasks is not as convenient as having the car on floor mounted stands. I have only had the Cyclone on my four post lift once and that was just to see how it fits on the lift. My Comet is low and I wanted to make sure the headers cleared the cross bar on the lift when driving up on the ramps. ( it just clears!)
I actually prefer to use the heavy duty wood platforms that I built, they are placed under each tire and are almost a foot tall. When the car is on these platforms I have found it it the correct height to work in the interior or under the car. It is the perfect height when I clean the underside of the car using a creeper. I use my big jack stands when I need the car raised to a higher level or when I need to remove the wheels and tires.
