2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness — two-post lift in a residential garage — what should I verify?

2023 Subaru Outback Wilderness, about 1,200 miles. Ceiling height looks workable but I'm more worried about slab thickness, concrete strength, anchor location and door tracks. What measurements would you collect before even shopping lifts? If I fix it I'll come back and update the thread.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2023 Subaru Outback in DMV / Maryland, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “two-post lift in a residential garage —,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Stop there until you know. If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. That's my plan before I call anyone.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2023 Subaru Outback owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. Then you'll know the next fork. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2023 Subaru Outback, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. That's the whole play. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.
