Anyone store their Blazer or truck on overhead lift?

A good friend of mine has a 40x80 shop...and still runs out of room. They have a 2 post lift, and do commonly store a car lifted up with another below it. Keep in mind a 2 post lift will be in the way for a vehicle your wife drives every day with the close proximity to where her doors will open.

I have a 40x60 with a paint booth inside, then trying to store 6 cars in there plus 3 in the front garage and one stored inside the car trailer, I'm constantly shuffling cars around to access the booth. I hate to leave anything sit outside at all. So another lift just for storage in mind is on the agenda of things to get ( I really need 2 more of them). Actually planned to do a little price shopping at BJ next week for lifts.

The 2 post lifts aren't really bad as far as opening doors so long as you get the asymmetrical arms. It offsets the car from the post so opening the doors aren't really a problem. That's what I use.

The asymmetrical arms do help a lot with opening the doors on the car you are lifting, but keep in mind, the wife will a have to pay attention to make sure she pulled forward far enough (or not to far) to have the door clear, and also depending on position, she may have to watch out for the back doors of a 4 door car as well.
