Default OT: Stacked storage for F-type

Sorry for slight OT posting. I am looking to put stacked storage lift into my garage and looking for recommendations. The idea is that my F-type will be living on the "second floor". I am looking for easy drive-on and drive-off solution instead of proper shop lift. I am concerned that low ground clearance and front lip of F-type will become an issue.

Please offer advice, recommendations and warnings. Thank you.

I used to store mine (or my other daily) on a bendpak hd-7w. Still have it but now have more garage space and don’t need it. The car goes on the lift and is elevated for winters - keep the mice away. It’s oarked under the lift the rest of the time. Best bet is a four post versus a two post if it is primarily for storage.

For pure storage, that is pretty cool. I'll get my F-Type on my lift later today and send a pic. I like it, because it is a pure storage lift, but you also have access to the undercarriage.

Here's my F on a lift. Clearly I don't have enough ceiling height (currently) to store a car underneath, but that is in the works. This is the one I bought:

Four Post Lift - Pro Park 8S (Standard)

Their site has a height calculator to help you figure out if your garage will accommodate it.

However, we four post is relatively simple to get on and off and allows undercarriage access if you like to do your own work or even just stare at the underside of your car (my wife has caught me doing that on several occasions). Also, you can get a bridge jack and raise the car off its wheels should you so choose.

We have an older Stinger lift, that we purchased 25 years ago. (Bought a $600 Triumph Spitfire back in the day, and then bought a $3000 lift to house it...am I nutz or what?)

Stinger by Axe

While my picture shows the Jaguar on the bottom I've not had any scraping issues AT ALL driving the F onto the ramps.


BTW with the proper floor jack (see the silver and red jacks behind the left side?) I can lift anything that a 2 post lift can do.
