Thinking slightly sideways again:
If long enough, 8 x 2 fore and aft, under the car, inside the wheels.
Front axle will sit on, and a block at the rear will allow the axle to take the weight, not the shocks.
Wheels attached at two points each so axles become the spreaders.
You have the height, so can extend fore and aft to allow the suspension ropes to meet at a point overhead, without extra spreaders.
I like things that at first seem daft. Its no great weight, is it? I would put a secondary set of ropes to the rafters, just in case.......mice, or something.
I kept a boat overhead so I could work on "Alice" in the garage whilst also keeping the boat dry.
That did go slightly wrong, though, and the boat ended up with a hole in it the shape of Alice's radiator cap!
