It's was under "auto equipment" looks nice, but would need a little modding to hold the front wheels or suspension.

I'm new to the Spyder and have one of these jacks for my mower. What's the best way to lift an RT Limited. Do you come in from the front or the side of the bike. Sounds like a great idea but before I go crunching something I thought I would ask.

You will come in from the side. adjust till you find center weight.

It only lifts 15 inches, I wanted more lift but this jack is sound for what it is designed:lecturef_smilie:

I just got this lift from Sears..... about half the weight of the red one has a minimum height of 3.5 inches vs the red one at 5.125 inches both have the same lifting capacity of 1500 lbs, Hoping it works good on the spyder and ATV

Take Care,
Bob

You are correct on the facts between the red and yellow jacks. And I considered the yellow, but took the red based on the wheels under the handle is wider than the yellow. Seemed to be more stable to me. But either is a very good choice.

:agree: If you take a peek up under the bike; just aim for the smoothest, flattest part of the belly, and then adjust it from there as you need... :thumbup:

How high does that raise your Spyder? I have a Baja Ron Sway bar to install and understand I need to get the Spyder up at least 18 inches to do so . . . I'd like to get a lift . . . so might as well find one that will let me do the sway bar install by myself.

I believe it was 19.5 inches.
