I was in the same situation as you a few years ago. I too went with a Greg Smith Equipment 4 post in my 3 car garage with 10 1/2' ceilings. I converted one door to the low headroom tracks and Liftmaster 3800 jack shaft opener. I've since moved and built a dedicated garage with 12' ceilings - brought the lift with me with minimal teardown. It helped that I could pick up the lift from the DE location with only an hour or two travel round trip and no tax.

I'm happy with the lift and agree with the need for the sliding jack. I'm happy with the quality as a hobby lift with no concerns of safety for me or my toys. I went with the extra tall one so I could walk under it without ducking when lifted empty. I wish I went wider as my truck won't fit now... Sometimes I wish I had a two post for some maintenance/repair jobs, but knew I couldn't store a vehicle on a two post. I planned ahead with 6" concrete in my new garage should I ever get a two post.

Feel free to message me with any specifics if you like.
