I wouldn't hang them from the top frame, that can mess up your seals. I bought the Ace door hangers, used a 2x4 and lag bolts to mount them to studs and they are super solid. Had my doors on them for well over a month, zero sag. Easy on, easy off.
Using the 2x4 will allow the doors to sit flush with your garage wall.
I did this. Works great! If you have the room, I'd recommend separating the sets of hooks a few more inches than the instructions say. They have to almost be perfectly on there for them not to touch.
That's more of a long term storage thing I would think unless you bring that mounting location down a bit. The doors are heavy enough to lift off the hinges let alone having to lift them almost above your head.
For me in my area, doorless is usually a day or two day long thing before we get rain so it's a lot of on/off of them, thus I really only need temporary storage for them.
I took my doors off for the first time yesterday. (JK 2dr)
I had some bicycle J hooks that were screwed into the ceiling beams in my garage. They fit and held them fine. But for some reason it was bothering me and I didn't want that as a long term solution. I took the doors down and put them upright on carpet leaning against a couch in my basement. Not the best solution but I know they won't fall or get damaged in the garage where space its tight. Since I have no kids at home the basement is seldom used anyway.
