    I have about 9 feet in the north. In FL there is pluming added at about 7 feet and other beams holding the house up.
    I just put the hitch on my Sante Fe last night. I can fit under that car without ramps or lifts, so I didn't even need to get the jack and stands stands out.
    (she/her) I did provide gender in profile. But if it doesn't show up tell me and I'll fix it.

    It's there, when you click on avatar:

    I've got a vague memory the site used to show more info in the avatars, say gender/age (if spec'd). Site's gone through changes. On a phone there's more avatar info (and signatures) showing, IF you turn the phone to landscape orientation.

    I was writing about using that lift to get the car up, then you can use jack stands to support the car.
    And you lower the car onto them, then the lift is not supporting the vehicle for extended periods of time.
    You won't have to lower it all the way either.
