I have a slight slope in my floor to the drain that is in the middle of the garage. Should be able to shim it level without too much hassle. I shot them an email to see what they say.

Pros and cons of each ect. These turned out to be the winner.

They got back to me and said they are good for 3degree slope or less. I hate math.

Very nice. Send me your research please

No need for math if you have a digital level
I've got a 2' and a 4' for work.

Mr. Wi... the more and more I look at this, the more I think maybe I should reconsider my garage design. Perhaps it would be advantageous to build with a taller roof to incorporate a lift of some sort.

If you go with a twin post overhead lift. You need about a 12ft ceiling. If you go with a twin post baseplate. You need about a 9.5ft ceiling. If you go with a scissors lift. You don't need that much. Me, I would go for the twin post overhead. You can walk under the vehicle.

See that's what I'm saying. I'd love to be able to do brakes and fluid changes while standing.
