Nice pics.

"Hmm, how can we get some flex shots here in town?" "Well, we've got those grey ramps in the back of the uhaul, yeah, let me just drive up there and get them!" :lol: :wink:

I thought of doing a flex test on a U-Haul ramp like that when one of my buddies was moving. I opted against it, thinking that I might break the ramp or tip back the truck and send all his furniture into my KJ :roll:

I would not have thought of running it up on a UHaul ramp. Last time I moved, two guys toting an upright piano broke the ramp. Might have been a defective ramp.

"dont use that lift" ??

It's a great lift, but if your main purpose is to fit the tires better, yes there are lifts that would suit you better. Daystar might be another option for you.

The frankenlift is by far the best on the Market... i'm more than happy with mine. Handles better, rides smoother, and doesn't look like a minivan anymore. plus it has more flex than my friend's stock rubi ;) lol

wait ,dont get me wrong, the lift it's self is fine
I was saying that if you want to show that a lift is cheeper than 5 new tires that may not be the one to do it with
I do not like spacer lifts I always say that you should replace it all at once
