The detail
A folding rack is the answer to one question: does the car still fit? Folded flat this is against the wall; a four-post cage occupies 47 by 56 inches of floor permanently. PRX built its business on that trade and this is the fully specified version of it — 11-gauge 3x3 steel and a 1,000 lb capacity, which is not entry-level in any respect.
The ceiling requirement is the specification most likely to stop you. PRX recommends 107 inches and says the rack can accommodate down to 94 with a modified install. The 89-inch uprights need to swing up, and that arc is what sets the number. A standard 8-foot garage ceiling at 96 inches is in the modified range, not the comfortable one — check before ordering.
The wall does the work here. Wall brackets mount to 16 or 24-inch on-centre studs, and PRX notes that uneven stud spacing requires a ledger board. This is not a rack you set on a concrete slab; it is a rack you attach to a building.
Hole spacing is 2 inches on the front and 4 on the side. Two inches on the front is the face that matters for J-cup height, and it is adequate rather than generous — the 1-inch bench-zone spacing on a Hydra is finer.
Two UHMW-covered J-cups are included, which is the correct facing — plastic between your bar and the steel, not metal on metal.
A 42-inch, 1.25-inch pull-up bar is full width and skinny rather than fat, which most people prefer for volume.
The low-ceiling version is the same rack with 73-inch uprights for basements.
