Forget the new 8x8x12 isolated slab with rebar
Leveling pads from MSC / Enco are all you need, I'm not guessing.
If you were dealing with a 75,000# machine maybe, but really, it's much less than 1,300 #'s once it's in place.

Good, then a regular slab it is. I thought that sounded a little excessive but I don't know, that's why I asked here. At my other house I had a slab poured for a two post auto lift, but that had to hold a 5000 car and it was 8" thick. I could feel the floor move if a car on the lift was being moved around like lifting an engine on a stand on the lift.
