It wasn't necessary. 
Your frame and my frame are exactly the same underneath. Like I posted a few days ago, I used my lift to pick up a '12 Fat bob. I didn't have to do anything extra. Slide the jack under and start lifting. So, by that, your frame is the exact same as the '12 fat bob. Nothing extra was needed.

put a block under your jiffy stand then slide the jack under the bike and take a closer look.

There is no need to change it, it does everything you will ever need for your bike, why do you think you might need a "better" one?

anyone who has done this mod to the HF jack did you notice that the lift hight is now higher because they hit the strap point loops on the base ?
or am i doing it wrong ?

I would not cut the loops off, I do use them once in a while.

OK, finally went out and looked at the lift, I see where you have the problem, I never noticed before because I added a 1/2" nylon spacer between the arms and pads to get a little extra width and it clears the strap loops with the spacers in there.
