Challenger A2006-57-3 - 3ft Height Extension Kit for CL10 Series Lifts
The Challenger A2006-57-3 is a factory-engineered 3-foot column height extension kit designed exclusively for CL10-series 2-post automotive lifts. This kit raises the lift's overall column height by 36 inches to accommodate tall vehicles such as commercial vans, full-size SUVs, and lifted trucks, significantly expanding your service capability without replacing an entire lift system. Featuring OEM-specific engineering, structural warranty preservation, and a balanced dual-column design, this extension delivers predictable performance and safe fitment for maximum overhead clearance.
Key Features & Benefits
CL10-Specific OEM Engineering
The A2006-57-3 is engineered from the factory as a dedicated structural component for CL10-series lifts. Every dimension, fastener specification, and load path has been validated against the base CL10 lift design to ensure safe integration without modification.
Generic or improvised height extensions create compatibility uncertainty and can compromise structural integrity when installed on precision 2-post lifts. The CL10-specific design addresses this challenge by providing exact column geometry, synchronized dual-column alignment, and load distribution that matches the lift's original engineering.
This enables technicians to confidently upgrade lift height with guaranteed fitment and structural performance. Installation simply requires following standard manufacturer procedures—no field modifications, adapter experimentation, or alignment guesswork.
Predictable 36-Inch Height Increase
This extension delivers a fixed, measurable 36-inch (914 mm) height increase across the entire dual-column system. The OEM design ensures equal extension on both columns, preserving the lift's symmetrical load distribution and steering geometry during operation.
Traditional approaches to increasing lift height—stacking spacers, fabricating adapters, or purchasing used extended-height lifts—introduce variability, uneven load transfer, and hidden defects. The A2006-57-3 addresses these industry challenges with a certified dimension that's guaranteed and repeatable.
This eliminates the risk of unplanned modifications and enables accurate facility planning. Shops can verify the extended lift height against their ceiling clearance before installation, ensuring safe and efficient service bay operation.
Structural Warranty Preservation
When installed correctly, the A2006-57-3 maintains Challenger's structural-parts warranty coverage—the only OEM extension kit engineered to preserve warranty eligibility. This contrasts sharply with aftermarket or improvised height modifications, which typically void existing warranty protection.
Many shops attempt to reduce costs by using non-OEM extensions or field-fabricated components. These approaches immediately invalidate structural coverage, leaving the facility exposed to liability and repair costs if component failure occurs during the service life of the lift.
This ensures that your extended-height investment remains protected under the manufacturer's structural-parts warranty, provided installation follows the documented manufacturer procedures. Warranty registration (required within the specified period) and proper installation documentation lock in long-term coverage.
Factory-Paired Dual-Column System
The extension kit includes a matched pair of column pieces designed and tested as an integrated system. Each extension is produced to identical specifications and synchronized rise characteristics, guaranteeing equal 36-inch travel on both sides during lifting and lowering cycles.
Field-assembled or mixed-source extension components often suffer from height variance, binding during operation, and uneven load distribution. The factory-paired design eliminates these compatibility problems by providing synchronized components pre-engineered as a complete system.
This ensures smooth, stable lifting through the entire range of motion and extends the operational life of pump systems, seals, and hydraulic cylinders. The matched-pair approach also simplifies installation—technicians simply follow assembly procedures with confidence that both columns will perform identically throughout the service life of the lift.
Applications & Use Cases
