why piss around with junk lifts. You gonna pay more when your sled falls off the cheap lift than what buying a good one would have cost in the first place.

Only diff between that and the PA lift that I can see is the cylinder. So unless one blows the screw jack out of it, why spend $400 plus another $100+ to ship? Buy the PA and buy a different cylinder (air) to lift it. And if so desired make it a little wider in the front and different rear lift points and done for less than $300.

Do what he did ^^ and mod it if you plan to use it on a regular basis. I modified mine the same way before I finally gave it away, not worth the money IMO. The guy I gave it to broke that crappy screw jack and had to replace it as well. The back needs levelling pegs and the screw jack is junk, the thing is just too wobbly in general IMO, like Cuso did, add some outriggers and castors to it, but also keep the bolts tight otherwise it tends to wobble at all the joints.

I'm going to pick one up this week. It will do just fine for the preseason/post season inspections, and the little amounts of work I do on the machines.

Sounds like a piece of junk. If ya gotta modify it to work why not build one or spend a little more and buy a good one. That was the lesson I learned when I bought a sled dolley from PA. Ended up cutting and welding to make it half assed work and ended up junking it. Only good thing on it was the tires lol
It's not really that terrible. You do a few things to it, and it's fine.
Would I buy one if the one I had wasn't included with the sled? Probably not, since they are so east to make.
But for the frame, by the time you cut, weld (if you can weld that is..), paint drill, assemble, it's a good deal.
I have a better system in my garage, it works like a hotdam, I gave the cart away with my last sled though... I might go back to this.

OMG OMG OMG I've been using a BIKE lift for my sled??????? You just tell me this now?? Well that's just great: my sled is going to have an identity crisis and want to get out of the garage in June when it hears all the other bikes running around. Then we're going to have to go to counselling to handle a major self esteem issue that is inevitable. I can hear the conversation now: "Sorry little buddy, you can't do what the other bikes are doing -you're just not wheeled enough, and you will always be that way" . But Daddy, I have a 4 cylinder bike engine just like the other kids!" Sighhhh this is going to be a long fall. Thanks a lot, mother trucker, I hope you know the emotional damage you've done.

So I picked up the PA sled lift the other day, and it seems to be solid enough. My only problem is that with my M8, the lift picks up the sled along the rails and balances it, and not the cross member at the front or the end of the rail. Anyone modify their lift so that it lifts the sled a little more stable?
