Four posts are pretty easy to install. The most time consuming part is getting the posts level with each other. I usually stand them up, tie them off with string, and use a level. Just keep installing shims until they're level. The hardest part is installing the ramps. It usually takes at least four people, or a forklift. First-time installation usually takes about six hours. If you plan on taking the wheels off, or working on the suspension, I would definitely get the scissor lifts between the ramps. I have found that standard two post lifts are more practical for general purpose use, and they take up alot less space.
