This kinda shows how the garage doors were done to where they hug the ceiling. Also using side load garage door openers frees up a lot of space and let’s you mount the doors high. Also with the high lift you don’t have to open the garage doors all the way so if you have a big wing like mine you can stop the door short off hitting and still have enough opening to walk or drive freely. I have about 8” of space between the top of my head and the garage door hang from the opening.

I could load it the otherway but reason I pull it forward is I have a little mirror on the side of the lift so I can line up the car with the ramps and runners more easily. Just very use to pulling it forward. Before I had the black car I'd always park the car back on the lift if I was just pulling it into the garage.
Seemed to logical that I figured there was a reason he doesn’t.

Or have it one click lower since there’s feet between the cars.
I tend to hit my head on the lift if it's lower when I'm pulling a car underneath so having it as high as I can has that benefit

7’ opening but the door hangs 6” below that so effective opening is 6’,6”

I was on the fence on moving it to texas. Could have sold it easily but didn't want the headache of finding another one down here so I broke the lift down myself and my wife and I threw it in the back of a mayflower trailer. Dicey, would not recommend unless you have some extra hands but yes I brought it with us down to Texas.

Is BG really that bad? I used their SyncroShift II fluid in the MT-82 trans in my Mustang and it made shifts feel a lot smoother over the factory fill.
No it’s not “bad” but do people actually need coolant flushes at 50k? Throttle body cleanings every 20k? Random “shift improver technology” juice in their trans every 50k? All of this goes against factory recommendations. We just call them wallet flushes. If your throttle body is so dirty it’s affecting how your engine is running you have way bigger problems.

I’m in the same situation. Would love to get a lift and be able to have a fun 3rd car but I have that same beam in the middle of my garage. Sucks too because otherwise my garage is tall as fuck.

edit, just measured- garage isn’t as tall as I thought. It’s just under 10’
beam is 8’4”
