You really don't want to remove the ceiling... directly above the ceiling panels is a plastic vapor barrier that the insulation is sitting on. the ceiling panels are fastened to the bottom cord of the trusses. Unless you have the expertness to redesign remove and replace the roof trusses you will not gain any height....
