Symmetrical can be problematic with a nose heavy truck, basically puts the weight too far forward, not to mention making it a pain to get in and out of the vehicle. If I were to get a 2 post it would be the Asymmetrical and the 30 degree twist would make it even nicer.

Please invest in a third leg support of some kind, even put on securely, these trucks like to sway while on the lift........

 

Looking at something like this but with a tripod deal maybe even two.

 

Yes...Winkdemon uses those in his shop...And he works a lot on the diesel trucks...He said they work very good...Also check Priness Auto...They also use to sell those...

 

Great a Princess Auto just open up around the corner

 

Yeppers, that is the exact thing I used to use. If you have the coin, I would invest in 2, they are VERY handy to have for more than just stabilizing the truck.

 

Just saw the Bendpak lift on search and restore, looks like a winner.

 

Northern Tool has the Bendpack for around $2900. Anyone have a cheaper, reputable source? (Not eBay)
