"Hi, I'm Doug, I work with 20 great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. We have good nice quality lifts in our shop, you can do this with jack stands and a jack in your driveway if you want, but it's cold outside right now, so we're doing it inside the shop with a lift. He's going to pick 4 good solid points. Our lifts have different levels you can raise the pads to to raise the car up level. So he's going to grab a point in the front and the back on all 4 sides so that it goes up leveled and safe. The arms extend out of the rack as well as the swing left and right. And these are a-symmetric, the rear arms are much longer than the front arms so that you can put a car on the rack and still open the doors. It allows the car to sit further back relative to the post."
