So on page 32 I saw your car lift. Out of curiosity what is the height of your garage ceiling? Looks like a tight fit but doable. I'm wanting a car lift but my garage ceiling isn't very tall

The ceiling of my garage has a stepped height. The inner half is 11 feet tall while the outer section is only 8 feet. The height of 10 feet is enough to clear two short (height wise) cars no taller than the Z or the Supra roof. The roofline of the Z06 is significantly shorter than these two.

The problem is the outer 8-foot section. This is where the car on the lift would need to be parked facing outward so the hood can be located under the shorter ceiling height. The most inner part of the 8-foot section was actually cut out to clear the base of the windshield of the car on the lift. In my case, the parking arrangement is a bit complicated and certain procedures are needed to clear everything; literally a few inches of clearance is needed in multiple points.

Appreciate the info. I'd be stacking my 280z and 300zx which are both currently at factory height (plan to lower in the future). I believe my ceiling is only at 10ft so it will be tight.
