Great lift also track is adjustable for wider vehicles!
Just incase I ever buy a Lamborghini or something similar!

My ceilings are only 10.0 feet.
I have a Buick GN on top and the ZL1 on the bottom.

They fit perfectly in my garage. Anything else may be too tight.

I only have a 9 foot ceiling and I can just fit the Camaro and the 1997 Z3

I would love to see your setup. I'm in a similar spot and would love to have a 2013 ZR1 under a 2018 ZLE. Got any pics?

Overall 2 post IMO is a much more usable lift. Much easier to swap wheels, make suspension adjustments, as well as most other routine maintenance. You can still park another car under a 2 post as well. I currently have a low rise MaxJax lift, but I'm looking into getting a full size BendPak soon. If you only want it for storage and don't plan to work on any of your cars, the 4 post is definitely the better option.

This is probably the most important bit of information in this thread. More often than not the limiting factor isn’t the height of the ceiling. It’s the height of the garage door when it’s in the open position and the height of ceiling mounted opener. Just by design, adding the wall mount opener and raising the door rails will get you more lifting space.

Jack shaft door opener and Bendpak lift all the way

Sorry no I don’t, my brother in-law is currently driving the Beamer, but with a 9’4” ceiling and with camaro on it there is a 51 inch clearance from the ground to underside of the lift platform

Nice setup... and I really like the tire racks as well

I have 10' ceilings and I have no idea how this can be done at that height or even less. Has to be super close tolerances.

not to hijack the thread, but I'm leaning towards a full rise scissor lift > Stratus is coming out with a 9000 lb scissor lift that will give a 6 foot working height

4 post are great but take up a lot of room, if your garage is small , IMO...

Good lord, look at those rear wheels/tires! how wide are those tires???

Or you could consider a one post lift like my son in laws for his BMW M2. He had a 3 car garage on his last house. They build a new house but due to constraints on the lot size they went up instead of out. So he found these one post lifts and decided to buy one. They are the heaviest steel I've seen, it's pretty awesome.

This lift scares me. I am sure it is fine, but that single-sided lift arm is nuts!

It's scary and amazing at the same time

The mere thought of the torque trying to twist it out of the concrete base when the lift is at its top position with a Camaro on it fills me with both fear and awe

That said, I'm sure this setup works just fine, but it must require some crazy base prep.

Thanks! My ceiling height is 10' (Maybe 10.5' I can't remember) as well. The low rise lift is great, but I want a full rise. I am going to remove the center rail/chain track on my door and go to a side mount opener. This allows the roof of the car to go all the way to the ceiling, and have 5.5-6' under the car.
