Challenger Lifts 12805-LC - Column Extension Kit for CL12A-LC 2-Post Lifts
If you've got a Challenger CL12A-LC in your shop and need to raise your column height, the 12805-LC is the kit you need. This is the LC-specific extension - not a universal fit, not a close enough substitute. The CL12A-LC uses different cable lengths and column specs than the standard CL12A, and this kit is built to match exactly that.
Getting the wrong extension kit on a 2-post lift isn't just an inconvenience - it's a safety problem. The 12805-LC comes with two new-length cables sized correctly for the LC column, plus all the hardware to complete the installation. Everything is accounted for. You're not hunting down extra parts after the fact.
One thing to have ready before you order: your serial number and lift color. Challenger lift parts can vary by production run, and having that information ensures you get the right kit matched to your specific unit. If you need help confirming fitment, our team is a call away.

Installation & Setup
Before ordering, have your CL12A-LC serial number and lift color on hand. Challenger car lift parts are matched to production specifications, and these details ensure you receive the correct cable lengths and hardware for your unit.
Do not substitute the standard 12805-0, 12805-1, or 12805-2 kits for the LC variant. The CL12A-LC has different column geometry and cable sizing - interchanging kits with the non-LC model creates a mismatch that will affect both cable tension and column height. Use the 12805-LC only on CL12A-LC series lifts.
Installation should be performed by a qualified technician following Challenger Lifts installation and maintenance documentation. Proper installation is also a condition of the warranty - refer to your lift's documentation before beginning any column work.
Applications
If your CL12A-LC's current column height is limiting how high you can raise trucks or vans, this extension brings the lift to its standard maximum column height - giving you more working room overhead.
When a column extension needs to be replaced on a CL12A-LC, the 12805-LC provides the LC-specific cables and hardware required for a correct, warranty-compliant repair.
Challenger auto lift parts that are model-specific need to be sourced correctly. This kit is the right part for the LC series - not a workaround, not an adaptation from the standard CL12A.
If you originally installed the CL12A-LC at a reduced height and now need to bring it to full standard height, this is the OEM-matched kit to do it properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this kit work on a standard CL12A, or only the CL12A-LC?
This kit is for the CL12A-LC series only. The LC variant uses different cable lengths and column mounting specifications than the standard CL12A. Do not substitute the 12805-LC for the standard 12805-0, 12805-1, or 12805-2 kits - they are not interchangeable.
Why do I need to provide my serial number and lift color when ordering?
Challenger lift parts can vary by production run. Your serial number and lift color allow us to confirm that you're receiving cables and hardware matched to your specific unit. Having these ready before you order prevents delays and ensures correct fitment.
What's included in the 12805-LC kit?
The kit includes the standard height column extension, two new-length cables sized specifically for the CL12A-LC, and a complete hardware kit. Everything needed for the extension installation ships together.
Does installing this extension affect my Challenger lift warranty?
Using the correct OEM-matched part like the 12805-LC is consistent with Challenger Lifts warranty requirements. The warranty requires that the lift be installed, used, and maintained per CLI specifications, and that only approved parts be used. Using a non-LC kit on a CL12A-LC would be a mismatch and could affect coverage. Installation must also be performed by a CLI authorized service representative to maintain warranty coverage.
What is the shipping cost and how long does delivery take?
Shipping to the lower 48 states is free. For specific delivery timing or questions about your order, call us at (855) 498-2147 before ordering and we'll walk through the details.
Can I install this extension myself, or do I need a professional?
Challenger Lifts warranty requires that repairs and installations be performed by a CLI authorized service representative. Attempting the installation yourself or using an unauthorized technician can void your warranty coverage. Contact a CLI authorized service rep for installation on your CL12A-LC.
Is this the same kit used for other Challenger 2-post lifts?
No. The 12805-LC is specific to the CL12A-LC series. Other Challenger automotive lifts in the CL12A family use their own extension kits with different cable lengths and hardware. Always match the part number to your exact model and series designation.
What does "standard height" mean for this extension?
Standard height refers to the maximum designed column height for the CL12A-LC series. This kit brings the lift columns to that full height - useful if the lift was installed at a reduced height or if the existing extension needs replacement.
