			Woohoo, couldn't be happier with the end result.  I quit the dealer thing in June so had to make this space work, it turned out pretty good IMHO.

I'm happy with them, a local PCA guy has an Alloy Wheel Repair franchise and has done a bunch of stuff for me over the years. 
		
	
		
	
			
			
		
		
		
		
		
			Thanks! I considered DIY on the floor but ended up hiring it done and I'm glad I did. The lift is from a company called DMS Lifts out of MO, I don't believe they make them but they do brand them so I'm not sure who actually makes them.

I added the 3rd car garage planning on a lift, so I managed almost 11' ceiling height.  I also did the high lift tracks when I did the initial door install and my opener is mounted flush to the ceiling.  I can lift the top car about 5'6" off of the ground, so it's easy to walk under.

			Hey Matt, be careful with those heavy ramps on on the lift.  One of those would wreck anything it fell on..... 
		
	
		
	
			
			
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	I lean mine against the wall where they don't take up any space. It looks good! Bill  |

			Awesome work! How does the garage door work? It looks like it's open, but there's a car on a lift where I thought the door would open into?

			Great looking garage.  Trying something like that myself.  A couple of questions.  what is the ceiling height over the stacked car lift?  Is the garage door a standard height or did you need to increase it?  If door is standard height say 7'-0", did you need to change the door tracks?  Thank you

 Love my truck, it's an Ecoboost too. It has the factory max tow with 3.73 gears, I have added a catch can, AFE Stage 2 intake, AFE bladerunner intake pipe, and Five Star 87/91 octane tunes. I have a 3" catted downpipe and updated tunes that should get done this weekend. It hauled well stock, but now it's a monster and tows my boat like it's not even there.
