2-Post Lift - Minimum Ceiling Height Required?

I couldn't find a better forum in which to post this, so here goes.

Just as the title says - I'm designing a garage, and I finally get to put in a lift. Going 2-post as space is a consideration, and most of my work will be wheel rotation, brakes, etc. - need the wheels accessible.

I own three cars that I'd be working on.
- 1985 FJ60 Land Cruiser (lifted on 33" tires)
- 1989 911 (lowered)
- 2003 bmw 540 wagon (lowered)

I'm not looking to get a true workshop lift - stand under it and reach up to do the work. Just tired of worming my way under the trucks and cars on a piece of cardboard.

How high do I need my ceiling to be? And are there any suggestions on lifts? I'm looking at BendPak and Rotary, but open to other suggestions.

Thanks.
