But if you're regularly pulling in taller SUVs, full-size vans, or lifted trucks, that stock column height can become the bottleneck. The Challenger 12805-1 solves it directly - one of the most straightforward challenger lift extensions available, adding exactly 12 inches of overhead clearance to the CL12A series without replacing or retrofitting the whole lift. It's a genuine Challenger Lifts part built to match the CL12A exactly, so fitment isn't something you have to guess at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe kit ships with two new-length cables and all the mounting hardware you need to complete the installation. No sourcing extra parts separately, no adapters. These are purpose-made challenger car lift parts for this specific model - not universal hardware that may or may not line up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIf you need just a bit more room and don't want the full reach of the 2-foot extension (12805-2), the 12805-1 is the right call. One foot clears most everyday tall-vehicle situations and keeps the lift's footprint exactly where you already have it dialed in. When you're ready to order, have your serial number and lift color handy - they're required for separate orders on this kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- SPECIFICATIONS --\u003e\n  \u003csection id=\"specifications\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eChallenger Car Lift - Part Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003ctable class=\"gsg-spec-table\"\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003e12805-1\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eChallenger Lifts\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eCompatible Model\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eCL12A Series 2-Post Lift\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eExtension Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003e1 ft (12 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd\u003e2-Post Lift Column Extension\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/table\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- WHAT'S INCLUDED --\u003e\n  \u003csection id=\"whats-included\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cul class=\"gsg-included-list\"\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eColumn extension kit (1 ft height addition)\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eTwo new-length cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eAll mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- APPLICATIONS --\u003e\n  \u003csection id=\"applications\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eChallenger Auto Lift Applications - Who This Kit Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe 12805-1 is a targeted upgrade for shops that run a mixed bay - mostly standard cars and trucks, with enough tall vehicles in the rotation to make clearance a recurring problem. One foot of added lift column height extension is enough headroom for most full-size SUVs, passenger vans, and light-duty trucks that push up against the CL12A's stock working height.
