So how much ceiling height is needed for your typical 2-post lift? The house I may rent starting next month has large toy storage/shop area bay, 1.5 car wide, 2+ car deep; and the whole garage has at least 10’ if not 12+’ ceilings. This in addition to a 2.5 car main garage. :tspry: ---

_[Link here](http://lmgtfy.com/?q=2+post+lift+height+requirement)_ 12’5" for a normal lift or as short as 9’ for a smaller lift ---

My old man just put one in his garage. The area above the garage is just storage area so he chopped two holes in the ceiling and up she went. Sticks about 2 feet up through the 2nd level floor. ---

My 12.5 ceilings are fine, its only a problem with tall stuff, conversion vans ect. ---

So from the sounds of it I should start keeping my eyes open for a lift. 🙂 That’ll be nice to have finally. Now I just gotta pray we get good news tomorrow, 98% sure we got it, they just needed to verify a few things (Credit, background, income, etc). This also means the resurrection from the ashes can begin this fall. 😃 ---

Also might have to put some footings in for the posts… hmm. Have to see what thickness the pad that is there is; might do it just to be safe anyways.
