Challenger Lift Parts - CL12A Standard Column Extension Kit
Your CL12A is a workhorse. But if the column height isn't where it needs to be, you're working around the lift instead of with it. The Challenger 12805-0 brings your CL12A series 2-post lift to its standard maximum column height with everything you need to do the job right - no hunting for cables, no making do with the wrong hardware.
This is a genuine Challenger lifts part, which means exact fitment for your CL12A series lift - not a generic aftermarket piece that requires guesswork. The kit includes two new-length cables sized specifically for the extended column height, along with all mounting hardware. When you're sourcing challenger lift parts separately from the original purchase, Challenger requires your lift's serial number and color to ensure the correct components ship - so have those ready when you order.
If you need more than standard height, the 12805-1 adds one foot of additional clearance and the 12805-2 adds two feet. But if standard max column height is what your shop calls for, the 12805-0 is the straightforward, complete solution.

Applications
The 12805-0 is the right call when you're setting up or reconfiguring a CL12A series 2-post lift and need it at standard maximum column height. A few situations where this kit makes sense:
Installing a CL12A in a new bay and the lift wasn't ordered with the extension included. This kit brings it up to full standard height with correctly sized cables from the start.
Moving a CL12A to a different bay or upgrading a previously reduced-height installation to standard max column height.
If you're already dealing with worn cables on a CL12A and want to bring the column height up at the same time, this kit handles both in one go - new cables are already in the box.
More column height means more clearance for trucks, vans, and lifted vehicles. If your work mix has grown to include taller vehicles, getting the CL12A to full standard height opens up what you can comfortably work on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which lifts is the Challenger 12805-0 compatible with?
The 12805-0 is specifically designed for Challenger CL12A series 2-post lifts. It's not a universal kit - it's engineered for the CL12A series to ensure correct cable lengths and hardware fit. If you're unsure whether this is the right extension for your lift, have your serial number handy and give us a call at (855) 498-2147.
Do I need to provide my lift serial number to order?
Yes - when ordering the 12805-0 separately from a new lift, Challenger requires your lift's serial number and lift color. This ensures the correct components ship for your specific unit. Have both pieces of information ready before placing your order.
Are cables included in this kit?
Yes. The 12805-0 includes two new-length cables sized specifically for the extended column height, along with all mounting hardware. You won't need to source cables separately - the kit is designed to be complete.
What's the difference between the 12805-0, 12805-1, and 12805-2?
The 12805-0 brings your CL12A to its standard maximum column height. The 12805-1 adds one foot of clearance beyond that, and the 12805-2 adds two feet. If standard height is sufficient for the vehicles in your shop, the 12805-0 is the right choice. If you're regularly working on taller trucks or lifted vehicles and need extra overhead clearance, consider the -1 or -2 variants.
Does installing this extension affect my warranty on the CL12A lift?
Using genuine Challenger lift parts like the 12805-0 keeps your warranty intact - the concern is using unapproved aftermarket parts or accessories, which would void coverage. The 12805-0 is a Challenger-branded component for the CL12A series. As always, the lift must be installed, used, and maintained per Challenger's specifications for warranty coverage to apply.
Does this ship free?
Yes - free shipping to the contiguous 48 states is included. If you have specific delivery questions or need to confirm timing, call us at (855) 498-2147 before ordering.
Can a shop technician install this, or does it require a Challenger service rep?
Installation should follow Challenger's installation, operation, and maintenance instructions. Challenger's warranty terms note that repairs attempted by anyone other than a CLI-authorized service representative are not covered under warranty. If you have questions about your specific installation situation, contact us at (855) 498-2147 and we can point you in the right direction.
Is this a genuine Challenger part or an aftermarket replacement?
This is a genuine Challenger Lift part (model 12805-0), not an aftermarket alternative. That matters because Challenger's warranty specifically voids if unapproved parts or accessories are used on the lift. Sourcing the OEM extension kit protects your warranty and ensures correct fitment.
