Default Hmmm...

Well, I guess that all boils down to what it is you're wanting to lift.

I'm wanting to lift less than 2000lbs when using a cross bar bridge like that, so I could use something as simple as thick wall 4x2" box tubing welded to some round receiver tubes that slip over the ends of the hydraulic cylinders. I'd have to do the math, but I'd be shocked if that didn't do the trick.

If that's still too heavy, you could construct the bridge out of square trailer hitch receiver slip-tubes such that it's in 2 parts and slips together in the middle and bolts (or pins) together at the ends. That would cut the weight into 4 pieces...and certainly be doable.

Hey Mike, I just looked at your photo and see it's a new ERA kit. One of the best on the market. Some of the many great things you can do with this lift is, putting the frame on the lift to work on the suspension at a height you're comfortable with and the same for prepping the body.
Thanks,

Hello Mike, CC is the best site for cobra's on the planet. Other sites I would have to pay for advertising, although I'm not employed by the company.

I think it's a great lift of high quality and will work perfect for those of us that do not have a tall garage/shop. I don't know what price I can get for the lift now that the sale is over, but I'm sure they will work with us on still, a very good price.

Thanks,

I just noticed this post. Any idea if a follow on group buy could happen. Looks like a great product for those of us with low ceilings.
