You could get away with less ceiling height - but it will depend on the lift and what you plan to use on the lift [note where the top bar is for the lift relative to how high the ceiling is in the top right corner of the pic; there's roughly 2~2.5 feet clearance]. My lift has a limit bar at the top to prevent oversized vehicles from going through the ceiling. That feature comes in handy when I've got our truck on the lift :-)

The lift was already installed in the garage (detached) when we bought the house 3 years ago. I make sure things stay lubed and tighten the hardware (attaching it to the floor) once a year.

As others have already stated - this type of lift gives you the most access to the underside of the car for doing suspension, wheel, brake, tranny, and exhaust work.

If you need any more details, let me know.
