Normal cars is OK though. Most hoists need min. 145 inches too....found that out and had to modify mine slightly.   You also need 6 inches of concrete to install the lags.  I have room for 2 cars (10x10 door) and one side has a mezzanine for storage.   The LT31 just clears the door to get inside, but I can't even lift it up to remove the wheels.  Compressor is great to have - build a room around it for noise.  I'm going to move mine into the washroom to prevent visitors from stinking up the place!  :)  Oh yes- running water is great for cleanup too.  My wife enjoys the fact I can de-grease before touching anything inside the house.
