tonybullitt Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Question for those that have them. Would you recommend? What are they positives and negatives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Bruene Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I would recommend it in a heartbeat, as long as it isn't your primary lift. Not many negatives. A little awkward at times when wheel removal is required. They take up a fair bit of space when not in use. Cab removal isn't as easy. Otherwise, all good. Positives... flexibility, easy set up. The ability to lift 52,000 pounds is handy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanG Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Absolutely get them if you have the chance. I use them constantly. Get the frame adapters too if you can, they're a little over 3000 bucks for the pair but you can use them to pull cabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddieseldoctor Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I got a buddy who has them in his shop. He has the Mohawk brand ones rated at 18k per post. They work great as long as you don't have to take a wheel off. Then you gotta have big enough tall jack stands to set the frame on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy57 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Dang! you work for mean people. They chain you to the vehicles you are working on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddieseldoctor Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Number 1: That's not me. Number 2: When you have multiple axles it is highly recommended to chain the other axles to the frame to protect the shocks and other suspension components.

lmorris Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Dang! you work for mean people. They chain you to the vehicles you are working on. I see where you are coming from..It really looks like the chain is attached to his right arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy57 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Exactly. The chain disappears behind mudflap adjacent to right forearm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddieseldoctor Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I spend way too much time over there. Rear leaf springs on my 2000. A much better picture than what was previously posted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonybullitt Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 We got column lifts for a week to try. this one is fully loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonybullitt Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 This one is empty. The only thing is kind of unnerving how much frame flexes tilting cab into body. Empty gmc flexed further then loaded Ford by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
