Can the rack be shortened by 6" to 8"

Not sure I understand the question. Are you referring to the foot print 4x8' dimensions or the adjustable height dimensions?You can not adjust the footprint but you can adjust the heights between 24-48" drop. If you prefer a different drop measurement safe racks makes different drop bars.

You can only adjust the distance they hang down from the ceiling. You cannot adjust the physical size of the rack (length or width) unless you are skilled at cutting metal and welding it back together -- something the vast majority of homeowner should never attempt in my opinion.

I think it's adjustable - but I didn't put it up, my daughter's boyfriend did. He didn't extend it the full length because of an SUV - I love, love, love this rack.

Sorry, but we gave this to one of our sons and he lives away so I can't look at it. We installed it for him and I seem to recall the bar and mounts arrive assembled and you just attach it to the wall. I don't know if it could be shortened.

No, it is only about 6 1/2" high with the wire rack removed. 7" is definitely too tall.

I just measured the brackets from edge to edge. Their is a total of 48" in spacing. This fits my 7' bar with about 2-3" on both sides. I agree with A. Eckert, that it's probably impossible to rack a 6' bar. Hope this helps.

Yes, the rack I have is adjustable. You can slide them forward or backward to accommodate your load.

yes - sort of. It comes with some 6" brackets to use for rack mounting, but when installed there were about 19.5" and therefore a little to wide. Also -the unit dies after one day and vendor would not accept return - would not suggest unit or vendor.

There is a small fairing on the front with a support beam that is a little higher than the rear of the rack. You could take the fairing and cross beam off the front to make the front and back the same height, but that would be a hassle.

The Rack for the bar is about 46 inches or just under 4 feet apart. I use a 7 foot bar. I'm not sure where the weight dividers are on the 6 foot bar, but that would be the big question. In other words, as long as the skinny part of the bar where you grab with your hands extends 4 ft, you should be good.

The 6 foot bar is a little short. The plates will not be outside the rack. I modified my 6 foot standard bar by wrapping duct tape around the bar to stop the plates from moving on the bar.

Like fully extend about 7.5" total thing with bottom and top on 8" it does not look like the attachment can be removed.

I think so. It's about 6" between the lower and upper rack. Plates should fit easy.

Yes. The short bars are 16" and the long bars are 23-3/8". Thank you for your inquiry.

I am not sure, but there are separate pieces to it at different lengths. If you need it shorter you can just leave a section out, but you might not be able to use all of the shelves if you do.

The distance to "get" something between the shell is 6 ". It will not be easy to put something with 8" high. In any case you would need to squeeze at least 2 inchs

Yes, 18" will be on the rack with 6" overhang which is a fair ratio as long as the product is installed in a stud and/or well supported. On mine currently I have two boards, my 9' Becker & 9'6" Donald Takayama both roughly 22"-23" wide. You should be good to go. - The Hubby.

I'm sorry, yes it is only over 6 inches without the rack. Please partially disregard my last post...

No, but perhaps Yes.As others have pointed out, 'adjustable' pertains to the height, not the width. The top bar is not adjustable, and is fixed at 60". If this rack _really_ meets your needs otherwise, it's possible to saw off each end of the top bar outside the attachment to the uprights without affecting the integrity of the stand as a whole. But that's a lot of work if you can find another rack elsewhere that meets your needs.
