If I'm going to build a pit in my garage what would anyone suggest the ideal dimensions should be for working on a 110?
Depends how tall you are I suppose .
But seriously mines a meter wide and shoulder height deep. But is also long enough to have it open at both ends of the car.
Make it deeper than you think if it turns out too deep it’s easier to raise, and run a pipe so you can run leccy in

When I made mine I used the ramp at work for measurements....
Make it deeper than what you would need to work on a 4x4....one day you'll wish you did.
I have a couple of concrete blocks and a scaffold batten in mine that I use for 4x4 fixing. Make it as long as possible.
Depending on space...I know a guy that built a T shaped pit. At the top of the T were steps to get in/out but the reason was drive the car until
the wheels were on top of the T raise car on jacking beam ...remove the wheels....stand on the steps at the right height to work on brakes / suspension

How do you jack up the vehicle if pit is that wide?
