GT3.2 height?

One thing to keep in mind is garage door clearance. I had to move my tracks, and they can get it really close to the ceiling, but you sill need room, at least 6 inches, maybe up to 12 - I’d have to go measure. Let me know if you would find that useful.

With my current setup I've already determined that even that won't work. When fully opened to garage door will not fit over the frunk and it would slide far enough into the garage to hit the windshield. I will need to raise the garage door rails by about 4 inches (have enough room for that) and adjust the garage door opener to not make the garage door slide that far into the garage. I'm determined to make it fit one way or the other, but it will all be very tight and definitely will require some adjustments.

Agreed - while the Spyder fit up there forwards, I think the GT3 would need to be backwards.
The guy who installed the lift said he’s seen doors that just roll in a cyclinder at the top vs rails into the garage.

Great thread and timely. I'm still confused a little. I have 116" floor to ceiling height and I need to stack tow 911s (GT3 RS and Turbo). Looks like it should work, right?

The one extra thing you need to check is whether the garage door when fully opened doesn’t conflict with the upper car on the lift. That all depends on how deep your garage is and how close to the ceiling the garage door tracks run. You are very likely to be okay on that front too.

I just got confirmation from BendPak as to why there is a min and a max in their clearance heights tables. The ladders of the lift are actually slightly adjustable. The 4" gap between resting points is fixed, but you can adjust the position of the ladders and consequently all the resting points by a little under two inches.
This specifically is meant for those folks that just need that extra inch or two to fit the car below the runways or between the runway and the ceiling. Great feature.

Okay - so next lock position up:
As expected it added exactly 4" (blue tape is the first position I used):
Which brings the bottom of the ramp to 56" above the floor:
And leaves just over 50" inch to the top of the ceiling from the top of the ramp (111" ceiling):
