You're welcome, Michael!

One final comment. One time I used a little too much throttle going up and the whole mess shifted backwards about 6 inches...talk about some serious pucker pressure! So, the secret is to get a "gentle" roll up toward the ramp section, but as soon as those back tires hit the ramp you need to feather the throttle and slide the clutch just a little to ease up nice and slow and even so that you don't do two things, (1) what I just described above and (2) run off the other end (!!!). Haven't done #2 yet, and a 4x4 in place of the 2x4 that I have for a tire stop is a better idea.

If all this sounds too complicated, then spend your money on a real Qwik Lift and don't worry about it. I'm a cheap bastard on a two kid budget, so I'm making due with this contraption. LOL
