A cheap 2 post might cost less than a Roarty mid rise and can do all that a mid rise will. install is a bit more than a 4 post but is not hard to do. I installed mine in about 5 hours total. You need 4 inch thick concrete surface for a 2 post and there is one that will fit under 9 foot. Two post will give you the best service options. A mid rise is the easy setup and fit anywhere option but not the best for service and a 4 post is only good for storage. 4 post take up room side to side and they are not well suited for work on anything wheel or susp related.

HBL is all out of mid rise lifts but we do have one 2 post Rotary if you have a 18 foot of clearence.

Todd, if you ate thinking about your garage floor I think it is way too sloped unless you built a cement a base and some ramps. Measure the rise for 8 to 10 feet. IIRC it is on the order of a foot.
