We are getting ready to buy a new house or possibly build. I wanted to have a garage that can be used for working on vehicles, woodworking, and for a small amount of time storage. Vehicles we have, Subaru Forester, 2008 crew Max Toyota Tundra, 97 Jeep Wrangler, and a Toyota 4Runner (2011).

I'm thinking of getting a set of Maxxjaxx lifts. A few houses we have looked at had deep 2 car garages so you can fit 2 vehicles and still have plenty of space in front of the other. If you park the vehicles correct you could just barely squeeze 4 vehicles with two in front of the other 2. However I plan on having a work bench on the far wall so this would not be possible once I actually use the space. My question would be then on a ceiling hieght of 10ft could one vehicle be lifted on the lift and another parked under it. This would only be for rare occasions when theres bad weather outside like a hurricane or something when Id prefer the cars to be inside. Would not be the norm. I'm thinking maybe lift the 4runner and park the forester under maybe. If something like this is not possible due to height how much higher would it need to be. Trying to keep a minimum due to costs.

The max lift height of the MaxJax is 48" so the car under would have to be shorter than that by quite a lot because the tires on the car above will be hanging below that 48" height. I have a full height lift and I still don't think I could stack 2 cars in a 10' ceiling. I'd guess you'd comfortably need a 12ft ceiling and a regular full height lift.

If I have to go that high I think I would just deal with keeping a vehicle outside then. Not the end of the world but for the cost and how few times I would need to keep them all inside its not worth it.
