This is what i bought, The posts are 9'3'' tall though. IT would be easy to cut a hole in sheet rock and put the top of the post in it.

The one in your first post would work great though. It will do everything a bigger lift will do except wont lift as high.

It is better to just do it. If you ask and they say no thats the end of that. Besides you only really putting 6 harmless holes into the ground.

OP, How thick does the foundation have to be for a lift?
