PPS, I re-welded the pump and reservoir to the front of the post ( rather than the side) to enhace access in the space I had available.

My thoughts were it was OK if you have CVs not doughnuts, and if you slackened off the rubber suspension fittings so the metal 'inner' could swivel. I believe a 2 post lift can reach under the car to pick up the frame rather than the body at the front, but at the back the car would need to be supported on the corner of the sill.
