Clois..thanks, I enjoy my rides and playroom: if limited in height as my one stall is (only 9-1/2 feet) then be sure there are no overhead obstructions : garage door opener track to the side not dead center above car, same for light bulbs, does garage door interfere when it is open (or do you need a high lift kit to snug it to the ceiling) . remember when determining if it will fit if you are going to stack cars to take the highest point of the car (radio antennaes count), add 4 inches for the crossbars of the hoist (most 4 posters' dimensions) and then add 2" so you have some clearance to raise the hoist UP from the safety latch (most hoist catalogues forget to tell you about that). a 10' ht would be good but 10-1/2 feet is ideal otherwise you can't get the upper car raised to the top most position (usually 6' +/- on max lift). I have 11-1/2 ' in one stall so could lift a panel truck with no problem there, but not on the other side where i am constrained at the 9-1/2 ' where the lower height cars have to go. Good luck. B
