It's too long!! (TWSDS)

About 4 feet to long to fit in my lift bay. And go all the way up. I think i'll have to get it to the right height for sitting in a rolling chair. and just work on it from a sitting position. Also looks like the front arms are almost at the balance point. Some lotta weight on those fronts. Its supposed to be a 12k lb. lift, but I always liked the big safety margin.....Gator back install tomorrow if MY back cooperates.

looks sketchy to me, can you put it on backwards? I typically try to put the steering wheel by the post on my asymetric lift.

When its nice enough out to work with the door open I can position it where ever it needs to be. I'm just going to do the flaps tomorrow, and wont be going under it like that.

Your last photo was lined up to the truck, not your garage. I edited it just to show how bad it really is. The blue lines are level left-to-right (top one being the garage ceiling, lower one the vehicle). I foresee a spectacular failure in the near future. Take away all that pretty red aluminum and you basically have a ladder with a big mass at the front. You really shouldn't be doing this...



Also, I'm no grease monkey, but isn't this kinda a bad idea too:

I had my work crew cab diesels lifted for every oil change or service. It was always with post right at the center of front door to mirrors. That looks way too for forward
