I'm trying to decide between the standard vs extended height garage lift.
The standard height lifts car to 72" vs the extended at 86"

I do have the room to lift the car higher, but will I ever want to lift car higher than 72"? Will there ever be a need to raise it higher than 72" while working under it?

My other question is, do any of you with 4 post car lifts ever roll the lift outside of the garage for any reason?

Any pointers about this please post.

If you have the ceiling height then I would say get the higher version for sure, as the cost difference is minimal and who knows what you may be lifting in the future..

I am 6'2" as well and with shoes that might even be 6'3", you should be ok with a 6' lift as with a 6' lift, the bottom of the tires will be 6' up in the air, the floorboard of the car will actually be higher. If that is not tall enough, get a comfortable bar stool. :)
