I am thinking about the Cytech "Double Park" about $3200 each. (drip pans, ramps, and installation extra)

or

I went the GoodGuys Hot Rod show, and the Hot Rodders support this R-toplift.
http://www.rtoplift.com/

I am trying to get these lifts (all-inclusive) for $3500 ea. (including factory install, ramps, and drip pans). I plan to get two garage lifts, and want to see who (Cytech or R-toplift) will deal the best deal for the prowler group.

Who wants a lift?, and how many?

Was planning to push for $3K/lift if had a few guys interested so I could bargain for that price.

I was planning on Cytech, and still might do that one, the R-toplift and Cytech are made in Wichita, KS...seem to be very similar.

I found that R-toplift includes everything (all inclusive)...drip pans, ramps, installation.

Cytech was ala Carte....pans, ramps, and install done by local shop. The local shop gave me an install price of $600 per lift....hmmm!

So, trying to get the best deal....bottom line.
Just asking around. I know Mike K. has like 4 of the Cytech lifts, like them, but if can save $1K or so with R-top...I plan to go to the lowest price, for what will do my need.

Check out the vendor link (cytech) then compare to www.rtoplift.com

I'm just shooting for a target price of $3K/lift (all inclusive)..hoping a quantity discount will allow that for all of us.

Will keep you updated.
I need the lift for extra car storage and want to clean the entire prowler (but not planning to polish the frame).

I'm hoping a deposit holds the quantiy discount price for others if they have a delayed need for the lifts.

The comparison of Cytech (Double Park) vs. Rtoplift did not copy over to this site properly.

It basically said that Cytech ala carte's the lift and prices out at $4200 ea. and Rtop lift prices at $3700 as all -inclusive (including install).

I wrote back to Chad Reed at Rtoplift and told him to get down to $3000. mark for us to be interested. I await his reply...but if you want to call him direct, identify yourself as prowler owner (think group discount) and let us know the best price we can get on these lifts.

When you say the only options offered are the three drip pans, is that all they are offering? Are the four 8" casters, the three drip pans, the aluminum ramps and the jack bridges included as mentioned on their features page? I'm led to believe since they are listing indicated "features" of their lift (and since this thread indicates "all inclusive") that these items are included in your price quote of $3175. Can you clairfy? (Otherwise, why have a separate features page and a separtae options page...)

Any idea on shipping costs - or is that included too? (wishful thinking, but hey, maybe it IS included)

Also, what length are they offering since the 99" is the column separation wrt the width.

Any luck with getting a "comparison" from R-Top_Lift folks vs. the Cytech model(s)? Surely they want to sell their product and want us to know why theirs is "better", right?

I might be interested depending on some of the answers we get.

Thanks for working on this for everyone!
