Just don't exceed the 6000lb weight limit!!
The QuickJack is how I am going because I want to be more mobile with it all. Out in the sun on a nice day or under the car port when it rains here in the PNW. Plus, can take to a friends place if needed. The one I have my eye on is the 7000 pound lift set up with extensions and adaptors. All of that allows for approx 6-8 inches more height than just the lift itself.
As far as getting the rear axle up higher, because of suspension travel, that is what a floor jack and jack stands are for while on the QuickJack.

If ( BIG if ) I was having a home built... The garage is my favorite room. ( No sh*t )....
I'd have a pit installed w/ a sliding steel cover. Then the movable 24" lift that spans the pit opening...
THAT'S what I'd like to do !!

A MAN GARAGE instead of a MAN CAVE. I could set up a twin bed and a microwave and a dorm fridge and a big screen and have heater and a/c piped in with a separate entrance/exit and be just fine with that. Don't forget the doggie door. Might have to pay the wife/girlfriend to wash clothes and allow for a bathroom visit and shower and would be very happy.

My garage used to have a pit on one side. Previous owner was a mechanic at a local Ford dealer and did oil changes, brakes, tune-ups, etc at home on the side.
He filled it in when they put the house up for sale. You can see the difference in concrete. I wish I had looked at the house before he did it though, I would've had him leave it.

If it had a pit, I’m willing to bet he just filled in the pit without removing the walls or floor. Might consider cutting out the new concrete and digging out the hole.
