Wanting to get a Dos for AWC... On the specs it says lift is 24ft. the closest I can put the new saltwater container is roughly 25ft away from my DT.

My Dos line would go up 3ft (bottom of container up to the top) then go down roughly 3.5ft into crawl space then 25 feet in a straight line with no twists or turns then up roughly 3ft into the sump....

Will the Dos be able to handle this?

Yes. Lift refers to vertical distance. I use one for AWC also. Mine is located one floor down in the basement with the DT on the first floor. It pulls water roughly 5 feet vertically from the container then pushes it to the basement ceiling and then horizontally roughly 35 feet, up through the floor and into the sump. There is a method for calibrating it so it will remove and add equal quantities of water once you get it set up.
 
I agree with @Shirak. My DOS tubing goes up 5 feet, then horizontally 30 feet, then down 7 feet, another 2 feet horizontally, and finally up 2 feet to my sump. As long as the total vertical is less than 24 feet, you will be fine.
