The standard concrete thickness will be fine with a 4 post lift. You said the garage depth was 24 ft., that should work also with lift pushed toward the rear, the garage door will be close but will work. I looked at a house that had a two car garage w/8 ft ceiling , went to County and told them what I wanted to do, they said if I had an engineer do drawings they would approve. I had an engineer come to the house for a look. 5 minutes later he said no. Trusses were running side to side, not front to back.
So you couldn't cut thru all the trusses, if they ran side to side, it would only need a few to be modified. So take a look up there. If the trusses run front to back you can probably do it. Side to side is out. Or find a house with a 5 panel garage door, most of them are on garages with 10 ft ceilings. I've been in a few but don't remember the model type.
