[QUOTE="Norton, post: 16723875, member: 145307"] There are two primary purposes for a lift - maintenance and storage. 2-post lifts are better-suited to maintenance, but require bolting to the floor and a bit more care in positioning vehicles. Depending on to whom you speak, they're not well-suited to storage because the suspension hangs fully extended. 4-post lifts are better-suited to storage and don't require bolting to the floor. Maintenance is less convenient, but possible with the addition of a rolling/sliding jack to lift the car off the runways. For reference, my ceiling is ~11.5’ tall and permits comfortable stacking of two cars, with a couple of feet between them. With that in mind, I estimate the minimum height required to stack is about 10’. FWIW, the bay in which I installed mine is about 20' deep and 10' wide, which I'd consider minimum dimensions. Note also that lifts vary in size and mine is one of the best-suited to smaller spaces. Let me know if I can answer additional questions... [/QUOTE]
