Lippy,

I had a nice conversation with LodiWino and plan to try the install with the tranny assembled. Doug at ERA was concerned that the hoist would be tippy extended out that far (and, yes, you'll need the 2 ton hoist). LodiWino confirmed that is true and he put about 50 lbs. of weights on the back of the hoist and said that firmed it up nicely.

Regards,

Kevin
