I tried this mod and it worked like a charm. The jack is cheap but it does the job

 

Just got a Sears red jack and did the mod, works perfect.

 

It's Sears and red, and I just ordered it. Hope its the right one.

That's the one.

 

I like stuff that's cool.

Must be shipping from FL. ordered it today and the site said I'd get it Monday.

 

I had mine for 2 yrs now. No complaints. Pd $100.00 cant see paying more when it does the job. I do have to remove the rubber kick stand bumper otherwise it gets knocked off

 

I have the same jack but my FXDL is a 2003 will this mod still work or is it only for newer frame dynas?

 

You'll like it.

 

Works pretty good for dropping and installing rear axles too...

 

Jack came today. I bought all grade 8 bolts and nuts.

When I was drilling out the support parts I was surprised how soft the metal was. After I cut the cross bar off I cut it into 3 pieces a bit over 2 5/8" and ground them down to fit inside the lift support things where the bolts went through. The cross bar was only long enough for 3 spacers, but I found a similar size piece of stock in the junk box for the fourth one. I didn't read all the thread so this my be a standard thing to do. I just figured the support things might bend when I torqued the 1/2" bolts down.

I couldn't find any 1/2" spacers that looked strong at all, so I used four 3/4" nuts as my spacers. They were just about exactly 1/2" thick.

Jack works too good.
