Someone asked if it would lift the front. I ended up adding two thin piece is plywood to it to raise it slightly higher and it lifts either the front or rear depending on where you place it under the frame. I needed the front off the ground today so snapped a pic to show it works on both ends

Thanks for sharing! I probably have enough scrap in the garage to weld up one of these

I built two for some buds at work. I used 1x1 square tubing. On the bottom, I cut a piece of pipe in half (about 2" longx1 1/2" dia) and welded it on the bottom so the lift would roll easier under the weight. Haven't taken the time to build me one yet. Go figure!!

Sorry, here's the other shot.
It has 3 lift heights. The handle is also adjustable and removable.
Extremely stable and heavy duty.
