    Lifting Gambrel Trusses with limited equipment space

    If the OP makes a couple sets of truss irons (out of wood), the wall guys can use them to space and brace. 2x4's nailed as far inboard as the wall guys can reach on both sides is sufficient to get them set.

    Has anyone built a false floor in the garage?

    Seems like the thin existing floor works in your favor. Easier to cut out, dig as deep as needed, pour a nice thick pad for the lift. Side drill in the existing pad for some rebar to join the edges. A wood framed floor will at least look bad, if not unsafe, if you overpour the existing floor...
