How to Modify Garage Trusses for More Height for a Car Lift (Super Garage Video #1) - YouTube
Watched & Bookmarked! A ton of good information there, hadn't thought about the scissor bracing, but if I'm right about my trusses running side to side wouldn't work for me, darn it. Still shows what can be done and definitely would have a licensed engineer design it out if that's the way I go. Thanks so much.
