Well there goes another $435 for a sled lift. Gotta have it now that I see how well it works and how much easier it will be to tinker with the sled. You guys are a baaaaddddd influence.

It's good to be the King.
I found a way to get the Whiplash sled lift without spending any money!
I asked for it for Christmas! So the kind wife I have ordered it tonight. She was having trouble paying for it and someone from Whiplash emailed her and offered to help. That is customer service!
Can't wait to get it home and assembled! I'll be taking it with me on my trips along with a new propane heater I picked up at Tractor Supply. It is small enough to run on a spare truck battery and power inverter. That way if anyone in the posse needs to work on something we can do so in the trailer, warm and at a comfortable height. Many of us are getting older and creature comforts are important.

That one looks nice and beefy! Is there a hard stop or latch to keep it from coming forward on you after it is rasied up?
The jack maxes out when the Lift is up. So kinda does have a stopping point. I personally love it
I have put it up like 10 times now and no issues whatsoever

I have the sled jacker and I have one of these.

They both have their place. The sled jacker makes it difficult to remove skid plates or put drain pans under the sled for fluid changes. If I am checking track tension, changing skis or studding a sled it is excellent though. I've had mine for over 10 years and I like it.
Fluid changes or general maintenance I use the table.
Neither are good for rear suspension stuff. For that I just hang the rear bumper from the ceiling with a strap so the track is barely off the ground. Then roll the sled to the right side and lay the handlebar on something about a foot off the ground. Now you can pull the rear bolts and rotate the skid right out of the sled. Easiest way I've found.
The table is expensive but I use it for the Harley and atvs as well. There is always something on it year round it seems. Lots of projects around here.

If being delivered, how long is the box & how wide is it.
