Garage layout and lift location - maybe?

[Andy_GTS]

So last year I had a garage built. I had incorporated some design details that I had hoped would allow a car lift. Fast forward to today and I'm ready to buy said lift. I haven't decided on which lift yet. Originally was planning and a regular 2-post asymmetric lift but now that my garage is starting to fill up with junk, I'm becoming reluctant to give up my space. Products such as the Triumph c-7000 and MaxJax have caught my eye. I'm concerned I will be disappointed in the MaxJax lifting height. I'm equally concerned that the the triumph c-7000 won't be as movable as they claim it is and I'll just leave it up anyways. For the permanent 2-post, the Atlas Elite 9KOH seems to be a great value at around 1700 shipped.

I am looking for advise from people who have lifts and advise on placement. I've attached a rough sketch of my layout. I have 9ft ceilings under the storage trusses and scissor trusses in the middle. The peak inside height is 12ft. Naturally, placing the lift in the center would maximize the lifting height but I would crowd out workspace and bench space on both sides of the garage. I'm also wondering how close to the back wall I could go. My original thought was the asymmetric lift would allow me to put the posts approximately 8ft from the back wall and then would leave about 20ft of packing space without interference.

Or should I just skip the lift altogether? Its always been a dream of mine to have a lift but I've been getting by with jackstands for now.

Do you use it daily to park in? If so set the posts so you can pull in to park and still open the doors without hitting them, but no further. With 30 ft that should be no problem and then you maximize room in front and hopefully hit the sweet spot for height.
