I just purchase and picked up a 2 post lift. It's an Atlas BP 8000 symmetrical lift. I have 27" on either side of the posts. I want to position as close to the front wall as possible, but still leave enough room to walk around the front of my 914. Any suggestions as to the distance from the post to the front wall ? My initial guestimate is 10 feet???
