I've been searching the forums for something that I'm sure is in the literature already but I haven't been able to locate the information specifically.
I'm planning on purchasing either a BendPak XPR-10-168 or a BendPak XPR-10A-168.
My "real world" bay depth (garage door opening to wall) is 29 feet - I think I've thrown out a 30 foot depth number when discussing my build in the past.
I plan on using a segmented garage door
The longest vehicle (20 feet 2 inches) that I have to deal with (at this time) is a Long Bed 2000 Ford F150 with an extended cab (picture of similar vehicle follows)
The Installation Manual for the XPR-10 series lifts indicates the clearances required for these two lifts on Page 4.

I plan on using the wide configuration of whichever of these lifts that I choose.
The question I'm having regards the placement of the posts between the garage door and the wall 29 feet from the door opening.
The Installation manual indicates the following minimum distances from door to wall.
XPR-10
Distance from Post Center Line to Garage Door - 156 inches/13 feet
Distance from Post Center Line to Wall - 132 inches/11 feet
XPR-10A
Distance from Post Center Line to Garage Door - 180 inches/15 feet
Distance from Post Center Line to Wall - 108 inches/9 feet
I'm having plans drawn up by an architect. He needs the placement location of the lift's posts. Since I'm undecided (at this time) on whether to go with the asymmetric or the symmetric version, I'm trying to cover both possibilities with where I tell him to place the lift posts.
I'm thinking of telling him to place the Post Center Line at 16 feet from the garage door opening and 13 feet from the wall.
I'm thinking that keeps my options open. However, can my extended cab/long bed F150 be clear the garage door on the XPR-10A if the Center Line of the Asymmetric Post is 16 feet from the door opening?
If anybody can post their real-world measurements with a XPR-10A lifting a vehicle like my F150 (or longer) I would appreciate it.
