Yea, I know about all that. Did two builds that way and promised myself I wasn't going to do it again. My tired body just couldn't take it any more. The MaxJax flexible hoses are already the same length, and I don't think hard lines or a permanent installation would change how it operates. For me it's important to keep it portable. When I don't have a project on the lift, I unbolt the post in the center of the garage and roll it over to the other wall. It just takes a few minutes and for me is a major advantage of this particular setup. I don't consider the sync thing to be a major issue. It's just a function of the very simple design. But I wanted to point it out in my comments for full disclosure. If you look at reviews for this lift on the Garage Journal Board, you'll see a number of comments about how it works and this aspect is discussed frequently.
