I am looking for suggestions on a lift for my 2014 Spyder. I want to install the sway bar and bump skid. Also looking for one that is reasonably priced.

Reasonably priced is like asking which is cuter a Blond or a Red Head.

cheap would be Harbor Frieght...depending on what your looking for there are several ways to go. Always get jack stands to support your vehicle. I use the atv/motorcycle lift but bought it from Sears...have fun shopping....

With the weight of the new RTs ; you should be a bit more aware of the capacities of these lifts.
The ones listed in here from Sears, all seem to have a 1,500 lb caoacity.
(Call me a baby, but I just don't like putting anything up in the air, that exceeds the limits of the jack that's doing the lifting... )
Your suggestions were helpful.. I am going with the Sears lift--holding weight 1500 lbs. My bike unloaded weights 1012. Will be much easier than using 2x4's. This is how I lifted my 2011 with my brothers muscles.
Went out online last night bought one for the same price that it was back in June 2014. Got free shipping to my house. Will be here by March 10th. With tax it is under $84.00.
I have used this jack since 2008. I bought it for my Harley and, with a Harley it was in constant use. It works well on the Spyder and still looks and functions like new. However, it is heavy. I little help if you are picking it up is a good thing.

I suggest a Bendpak HD-9XW. Works very well for Spyders and cars and trucks and....pretty reasonably priced for the quality and safety built in....
Or perhaps that was more than you had in mind.....

I have the one from my Harley days also. Wanted a second one so I can put one under each front tire and lift the bike up. Seems like a pretty safe way to get the front end of the bike up to change out the swaybar. The cost is less than taking the swaybar to the dealer for installation.
Thanks for the link. We ordered and will pick up tomorrow.
I have one like that I got a Northern tools. When I lift the Spyder, I first drive the front end on a couple of 2x4s (an ST needs that extra clearance to get the ATV Jack under it.). I then slide the ATV Jack under it and get it as high as it will go. Then put jack stands under the front shocks on the A frame. Then you can get a regular car jack under the rear tire and jack it up till the weight is on the jack stands on the front. Then with all 3 wheels supported, you can then remove the ATV jack in the middle. You then have it all up and the center free to work.
