That's awesome man. How hard was the install for a lift like that, and what the price on that? How close does the garage door get when it is fully up, it's hard to tell in that one photo looks like your garage is pretty long so there's lots of room.

I'm sooo damn jealous!

Install was a good 5 hours but I did almost all of it by myself. It was fun actually. Price was a little over $2k is all. I thought it was going to be more. I still have a foot of clearance to the top of the garage door when it is open so tomorrow I'm planning on putting the caster kit on and moving it back some. Still plenty of room in the garage to fully open all doors and lots of length. Loving the lift so far though thanks!

Awesome!

Looks like the same lift I got. My garage is quite a bit smaller than yours, so space is very cramped. Yours has enough space to go full height, my lift can only go 8 locks when there is a certain car on it. A couple can only fit up to 7 locks, one can fit with only 6 locks and the truck can't fit on the lift. A part of the garage ceiling had to be cut out to clear the windshields. Here is a picture of my garage, I don't have one with my 370Z on the lift.

Looks good man! I was hoping to get my lifted tacoma under the Z but it is two inches to high. It fits if the lift is off the blocks and just on the cables but I'm not going to do that obviously. Luckily my wife doesn't mind parking under it

At full height like that, there shouldn't be any problem with head clearance unless your wife is exceptionally tall.

I would suggest removing the ramps when it's in storage height just to be safe. Also, it seems your garage door is in the way; mine was too and I had a friend reposition the tracks so the door now hugs the ceiling at 1/4" clearance. The opener was changed to jackshaft-drive type which facilitates a wider ceiling cut-out opening.

Good points I'm going to have to look into the door going higher. Thabks!

After looking at this chit. I need a BIGGER garage.

SwissCheese · 08-27-2015, 09:16 PM

Sweet. I would love to get one of these, but my garage is incredibly short. Whats the going rate for one of these lifts (if you don't mind sharing)?
