*Update* - http://liftbars.com

Over the next few weeks I'll have time to make a couple, then I'm free to make the rest.


<S3 = 78-86 (round jack pads)


S4> = ROW 86/US 86.5-95 (rectangular jack pads)

Thanks Andrew!

BTW: remember folks, jack on a debris-free, level, stable, cement surface, and lubricate your jack wheels/linkage with heavy spray lube, often!

I will third that! i got my bars about 6 weeks ago and have since done my motor mounts, oil pan gasket, rack bushings, tie rods, and about 4 different 4-corner ride height adjustments, and the lift bars are fantastic- I can get the beast 18" off the ground in about 3-5 minutes with ease. I finally took it to Sears today and got a 4-wheel alignment (Hunter DSP-400, $95), and all is (for now) shipshape. Thanks again, Ken!

Roger,

Your postman is going to faint. That will be the third giant box to your house!
...

Glen, Rob - Thanks!
...

Dave,

I remember. It's only $10.25 to Seattle, if you want them sooner.
...

BlackShark, auzivision - thanks!
...

I finished two pairs today. An S4 and an S3 from scratch! I'll mail them in the morning.

I rounded up enough steel today for the orders to date. I'll start work on them as I get time, over the next couple of weeks.

Thanks again to everyone who has purchased liftbars! In a way, the bars paid for my 86.5, on which I'll be able to test upgrades of my other tools, and should spawn new ones - like the 'PorKensioner'.
