There are lifts that only require the height of your
two cars. The platform rides up at the level of
the bottom of the car, so that four posts don't have
to be very tall at all.
The usual "caveat" is whatever the lift mechanism
is. Some have horizontal pistons, so they don't need
any height at all. Others have vertical ones so
they might limit your height, but the ones I looked
at were not too severe.
