Hi Dwight,

I've done similar things for lifting large electric motors, gear boxes, etc. I made a short set of legs for my lift so I could get in closer to machinery and added as much as 350 lbs of lead for counter weight. Works pretty well but you do have to approach the lifts with a little caution because it is just engineering by the seat of your pants !
