In the pictures I have it set up to approx. 18'. You can bring it down to about any length you want. I also have one end set up HIGH and the other LOW so you can see the difference. High approx. 81" Low approx. 46". Also in one picture I put all four brackets that mount to the car body on one end so you could see all four ways you can mount the brackets. You can mount them as close as 9.5" up to 53". The wheels on the base are 55" apart. There are brackets welded on each end that you can mount hydraulic cylinders to to raise and lower a car body. This unit will break down 16 pieces for easy storage. New units run between $1300 and $1400. I'm asking $900.
