phase II
On my phase II lift mod (earlier in this thread) I showed how I welded a new spreader bar to support the cantilever load. It is not centered vertically, but roughly flush w/ top of channels (touching inside top). Very simple & easy, and does not interfere w/ fully lowering.

I did this mod also, but found it does need the spreader bar that lo-rider has installed. I have an 04 Ultra Classic which is about 900 lbs. and it doesn't lift the rear as soon as the front. It actually slid back a little before I figured out what the problem was. I have two of the jacks, one I keep at work, the other at home. The only problem is making sure I have the right jack for the right bike, LOL. My 03 Wide Glide is soon going to go under the knife, bumping up to a HQ 113" in the next several weeks. So the jack mod will be of great benefit.

The WG should be find without it.For the record, I'm fairly certain my 07 wg front end comes up first before the back end so I don't think it's a weight problem regarding your ultra.
