how much ceiling height? my problem with all those lifts is they are as much or more than a full blown 2 post. if you dont have sheet rock in a 8ft garage a 2 post with floor plate can just fit and cost less. i have a 4 post lift with 6.5 foot legs that i think i could easily get a trans squeezed through and fits under 8ft ceilings. in any case my dirt track buddies have the open belly style midrise lifts and seam to like them but my corvette buddy with his attached two car garage has managed to pull off a quite a few big jobs on his c5 with the miniature/portable 2 post lift i think the brand is a max jax? looks like a regular 2 post but uprights are only 4ft or so high. he easily removed his trans and rear cradle from the c5 although he couldnt stand up he was able to sit comfortably on a stool. i also have a c5 so i was already looking when i seen his. cost per height sucks with them though, luckily i was able to fit a 11k 2 post under my roof for less than the smaller lifts. if you can manage to fit the shorter 2post open top floor plate style in your garage that will be your best bang for your buck even if you cant use the lift to its full lift ability. a new one can be picked up for 2k or less on ebay.

i lucked out on this like new tuxedo 4 post on fb marketplace. i feel like at 2k it was as budget friendly as you could ask for while also walking under it
