I’m in the process of specing out the concrete slab for what will be my 24X30 garage. I’m trying to find info online about how thick the concrete needs to be and what kind of rebar should be layed under it. Somebody on here must have gone through this before. I want to pour the slab so that later on down the road I can put a lift in one side, but just use the other as a regular garage stall. I don’t want to spend a ton of extra money and pour entire thing thicker then I need to. Any help would be appreciated.

Consult lift manufacturer, ask them for specs and installation info. Most likely they will have some slab structural/load info in there. Also take a look at the building code, under concrete section.
