WHski,

Floor to ceiling in my garage is 115". So, this is a standard small 2 car attached garage. What makes this dooable is changing the radius of the roll up garage door tracks, raising the existing tracks to within 7" from the ceiling and replacing the garage door center motor with a Liftmaster 8500 sidewinder motor. This unit is very compact and is installed on the front wall at one end where your steel bar with spring is. The motor spins that steel shaft raising your door. I had an overhead garage door outfit alter my tracks and replace and install this Liftmaster for $700.00 (parts and labor). The unit when operating is super quiet.

Obviously you can stack 2 cars as long as the car on top is a smaller one. The Crossfire has a low silhouette. Cars slightly larger will work, just back them onto the lift allowing you to go higher to clear the garage door when the door is open.

So, for approximately $3,000.00 you could have a 3 car garage out of a 2 1/2 car garage.

For me, because of the smallness of my garage, I use the open side for a workbench and tool box roll-arounds. Over time I've bought a roll around chair, an oil drain container on wheels and a tranny jack. LED trouble lights round out my tools when I'm under the car.

Regards,
