I have a 10 foot ceiling. I am 5'9" tall and can just get the car high enough to stand straight under the car. If the car or I were taller I would not be able to stand. The lift itselt can go up another 9 inches.

As for the door clearance, I was able to get it to work. Other than making sure it would clear the car, the door handle needs to clear the door frame and spring bracket. I was able to do that the second time. I didn't need to by any additional track. I cut it at the bend, where I thought it would work, and cut a straight piece off of the other end. A few carrage bolts and some angles and it works just fine.

And one more thing, with a four post lift, if you use it to store two cars in one bay you can add drip pans to catch any drips from the upper car. Just remember to put them back if you move them. Fortunately the trans fluid dris were small enough and I caught them in time that they didn't destroy the paint on my hood! I won't make that mistake again.
