I have 9ft ceilings, the lift will rise 42". Full lift my Buick almost hits the lights. I paid $2,300 from Northern Tool.
The posts bolt into the floor. One of the things I really liked about this one, besides the mid height, is each post and the pump are on wheels. You can unbolt from the floor and wheel it up against the wall if you need room for something else. You can also put different sets of anchors in the floor to accommodate different width vehicles. It is rated at 6,000 lbs. It's ideal height for a rolling seat.
It was real nice last night taking the rear sway bar off getting ready for that DSE bar I ordered from Scott.
