This is exactly whatMy FIL has a lift at his house, but its in a separate 28 x 45 detached garage with 10' to the trusses that he built.

He did the complete install himself, so I cannot comment on how difficult it was. He did build the shop with the lift in mind, though.
This is from when I replaced my exhaust manifold bolts earlier this year. I only have it up a couple feet here, but it will lift high enough to just about stand underneath.

I will agree that the back and forth to get set up is a chore.........getting down on your hands and knees a half a dozen times or more to get the arms and saddles all lines up and placed right and the correct spacers installed is a ROYAL PAIN in a lot of places......
A shop in a town I lived in used to rent out his lifts on Saturday and Sunday for DIY. Never used it myself but helped a few friends do muffler and brake work. Didn't advertise it, just word of mouth.I'm honestly considering expanding my own garage to put a lift in. I'm a mechanic but I dont always have access to the lifts at the shop so I'd like to be able what I want when I want.
