Hi gents,
My lift is 84 inches wide and while my 05 fits there isn’t much room left. I’m curious if any of you have any advice on the likelihood of fitting the new GT on this lift. I don’t think I can retrofit it even if I can so I may have to look for other options. Any ideas are welcome
Thanks
Ernie

I have two 4 post Direct Lifts. I just cleaned the underside of my 2018. Took measurements. The driving platforms are 74" at the outer edges. If I get the car perfectly centered, I have about 1.5 to 2" of overhang with the rear tires. Less with the fronts. The posts are far enough apart. The limitation is the lift cables which are 89" apart at the level of the cars mirrors. I have to tuck the mirrors to clear the cables by a couple of inches on each side.

I have the same overhang on my 05, if perfectly centered.

Some GT specs and dimensions that might come in handy if you don't already have these.
