I always thought you were kinda Tall??? BTW my lift bay is 14 ft wide, and as you know it is lower than the rest of the shop. Just the way the land rolls downhill here. My posts are 18 in from the wall on each side. But I made it that way on purpose so I would have more room on the upper level. I squeeze past the posts with no problem, often carrying something. Have pulled axles with no problems here.....
