Front to back stability is great, it's solid as a rock front to back and side to side. It can also easily lift a full sized SUV.

That said you can lift any car on any arm type lift and have it fall off the front or back of the lift if too much weight is on one end. The lift stays put, but the car does not. The key is to maximize the distance between the front and rear arms to minimize the lever arms of the weight in front of the front arms and behind the rear arms. Using the stock jack points has worked well for me.

It uses 110V power.
