I have a similar 4 post lift with sliding tray as well as a Bend Pack 2 
post lift. I like both.

Just bought a sissors type jack for use with the 4 post lift. It slides on 
the inner flanges of the 4 post ramps and has nylon pads so it slides 
easily. It has a cross arm with pads that rise up so u can lift the vair 
front or rear at the proper points. Works well. Look at the Direct Lift
web site or see a video at the Greg Smith Equiptment web site.
