Mount the hook as high as you can reasonably lift the bike's front wheel up to while holding the seat tube and handlebars (I did mine at about 8 feet), but make sure the hook goes directly into the center of a wooden 2x4 stud (and not into a weak sheetmetal stud, which may allow the hook to rip out). Using an electronic stud finder to find the dead center of the stud, and then drilling a pilot hole is recommended so the stud doesn't split and lose strength, causing the hook to rip out.
