I am looking for a table lift jack system that will fit the Spyder RSS.

Have you considered making one? Think it could be done pretty easy....some 3/4" or 1" plywood, bunch of 2 by's some 1" pipe and a floor jack.

Lift
You may want to check out lifts by Pit Bull and J&S Jacks. A bit pricey, but they look like they are well made.

I mis-spoke....it appears H/F does still sell a lift table.. http://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb...ift-68892.html
It's a hydraulic foot pump and not the air powered model but I had one of these before and they work fine....problem with useing them for a Spyder is they aren't wide enough, and the extension wings only fit the air powered model.
The issue I see with the one mentioned in the previous post is the Spyder is very nose heavy, that could be a problem for that lift....great price tho!

Made this from m/c ramps. I can use my roller seat to work on my RT. Note: Center ramp is beefed up with 1 1/2" angle iron.

Will need to add pipe extension as disucssed by SpydherLov's video. Also like his removable ride on Condor mount.

Lifting the Spyder RS
The 1500 lb MC/ATV lift mentioned is available from Harbor Freight with a coupon for $62 + right now. The same lift, essentially, is available from Sears, Northern Tool, Auto Zone and Advance Auto Parts for around $100 to $120. The trick to using the lift is to locate the balance point. My RS/GS SE5 balances with the rear pad just forward of where the frame bends upward. Since I added my diamond plate floor boards the balance point may have moved forward. Harbor Freight does have a lift table, but you would need to devise an outrigger system to accomodate the Spyder, not sure what the price is on that. Of course, unless you hit the Lotto, money is always a consideration. My dealer was complaining about the cost of a lift for the Spyder the last time I was in. Working on the floor is very tiring.
