You can do a lift with 10' ceilings. Easy enough to take a tape measure and measure how high each car is. The platform on the lift is about 6" and you need another probably 3" for the lift to lift above it's final position because of it's safety catches.

If i'm not mistaken, you can also convert the garage door to a commmercial type where it coils up...expensive, but when space is limited. cost per sq ft equation...Mike

Here is a pic of Jackass. The tape is at 10' and the roof is a few inches below it. I took the pic from a ladder. I have 61" between the floor and the bottom of the hoist. The Nova in the background measured 55" tall.

Thank you for the idea, you just helped solve a dilema I was having for a new garage. How high would the car sit if say you have to park an SUV under that lift??

Measure your SUV then look at my pic. I have 61" clear. Is the SUV more than 61" ?

Direct lift(the black lift) has a taller version. I have a cayenne under mine and it just fits the standard version. Tall height is 78 inches under lift.
