I feel your pain. Move from a 3 car garage to a 2 car garage. My wife kept reminding me we were downsizing.
I am now considering adding a third garage to the house.
My advice,
Downsize your house, never your garage.

Interesting that you chose to orient them so the car moves forward as it is lifted. I typically set them up so the car moves to the rear. Nice to know they fit either way.

It will be the Quickjack for me also, need to see the highest they go, would like something that would get the bottom of the car at least 4ft or close to it. Makes it easier if your under it, or working a buffer from a chair.


Thanks, my biggest worry was the lifting points on the AM, seems this works just fine with no damage.

I did this for two reasons. First, I tend to park with more room in front of the car so I can access items on the far wall of the garage while also avoiding the risk of bumping into anything. Second, orienting the lift this way means the hoses face the back of the car so I have more unrestricted access under the engine. If I needed to work on the exhaust I would gave them the opposite way.

The max height for the QuickJacks is about 21".

I see. You know that you can disconnect the hoses after you release the hydraulic pressure so the lift is sitting on one of the two lock points, right? If I'm working under the car I disconnect the hoses and then there is nothing in your way from either end.

No, actually. I didn't really give it any thought. Makes sense though. Still, would rather my car rise forward than bang into the garage door on its way up and back.

I agree with you 100%. We moved near the beach and there is no room in our area to add ay thing. We were lucky to find a newer house with a over sized garage.

My wires Falcon started as a Futura. It is now badged as a Sprint. The car still has the 200 cid in line 6. We will go to a 302 V 8 in the next year or so. We did update the car with a floor shifted 3 speed Mustang auto. A new 3 row radiator, Power Rack and Pinion steering. A mustang rear end with 4 link coil overs. And Bear front disk breaks. The V 8 Conversion is around $8000. We also did a down to the metal respray.

I don't know off hand. And I am not sure what your question means. I only have 9"6" of ceiling height.

I think he's asking if the lift rises enough to park his 911 underneath.
