It's a lot less likely to kink when you have both sets of legs taking the load instead of one pair.
Yes your right & that is the plan if I decide to keep this lift & not go for a bigger one or a 4 poster with wheels free.
Marginally wider would be nice as would more lift capacity as two of my vehicles would be at the max lift.
Dont worry they are not going near it till its properly installed.
However at the potential kink zone the legs are nearly 2 foot across.
