The garage has been a long build but she’s just about completed. It’s a 28x30’ footprint with 16’ 5” ceiling and attic storage. Today, I finished the 4 post lift install. It’s a Bendpac 7500BLX. The goal was to be able to fit both my Jeep and my truck under/over each other which was a bit of a challenge because of the height and width of my Raptor. The truck is listed at 78” tall but mine sits at about 77”. The lift sits at 78” on the top lock. They advertise 82” of clearance but fail to tell you that isn’t practical clearance while storing... everyone knows you can’t leave a lift sitting off the locks. So as of today, it’s working but I’ll have to be super diligent to make sure not to add any height with tire changes. I literally only have about 1-1.5”.
For those that aren’t familiar with this type of lift, you can still use them as full service lifts by adding rolling scissor jacks. They aren’t cheap ($1500 a pop) but the setup is pretty slick. I went with 2 so I can store a vehicle plus have the full range of a 2 post (for the most part).

. We hung 280 sheets of drywall in that shop... I now hate drywall , but it might give you some ideas. Also you could put the stairs outside if it’s strictly storage.
