• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Has anyone tried this lift from Harbor Freight?

You don't need to go that high if you cut the old sway bar, then it will just slide out.
But then you still need to put the new sway bar in (and need the same clearance), unless you install a BajaRon Ultra bar, which is 3 pieces - yes?

(Bit of a noob question, as I haven't done this yet, just thinking/planning.)

Why would you install anything else than the best?
 
I am with you there. I had to raise mine up to install the front bumper/skid plate and I jacked up the A-arms and put blocks of wood under the tires until I had the height I needed. Having two floor jacks made this an easy choice.
 
Thanks for your input. I didn't quite get a definitive answer from the comments, but in doing more research, I have decided to return it. I already have a Harbor Freight 1500lb capacity lift, so I'll take Lamonster's recommendation from a comment I stumbled on and use that to lift the front of the bike, while leaving the back tire on the ground. I'll get taller jack stands to stabilize the front.

Raise it up as high as you can and put a concrete block under the back wheel and jack stands under the front. Then remove the the Jack and put the Jack on something like a pallet to give it more height and then you can raise the whole thing up some more.
