I've done the math and I figure I can lift my tallest cars (about 5ft from the ground to the roof) about 3 ft without hitting the garage door assembly.
What is the best mid-rise lift for a DIY home garage setup that can lift most cars about 3 feet (including ones with body kits, kei cars, etc)?
Quick Jacks would be the answer, but they don't go quite as high as I want, I want to be able to use one of those reclining creepers vs. being fully laid down underneath the car (pic below).
Probably don't need more than 4000 lbs, but would probably want 5000 lbs just for buffer in case I buy something pigfat in the future.

You can get scissor lift quick jacks that go up past 4ft.

Quick Jacks are their own thing, you posted a mid-rise lift.
1) I don't think yours is portable and looks like it actually need to be bolted to concrete (something I'd like to avoid)
2) I don't think yours would accommodate a kei car due to width (but maybe I'm wrong)
3) I'm not going to trust my life to Amazon word salad brands
I'm fine not going for the biggest names like Bendpak, but it needs to be something I can sue the fuck out of if my car falls on me and it's their fault.

Yeah, I saw that after. Being Temu-tier brand is the main dealbreaker, with second being I don't know if I could make it narrow enough to lift a kei car.

Those portable two posts are expensive and seem like a lot of work to move around. I want something I can either just leave in the middle of the parking spot all the time or I can pick up and lean against a wall or something and doesn't affect opening car doors or anything like that. I also don't have enough vertical height for a two post I don't think, hence why I want a mid-rise lift.
