Good to hear. I just ordered the HF one and found some orange frame protectors cheap on eBay. Looking forward to doing all these projects i've been having to wait on for a lift. I hear the wood method works well alot too

Well nothing urgent but always have wanted a lift haha.

I want to do a few things though fairly soon:
-Rear shock change
-replace brakes, pack all bearings and stuff / maintenance
- may remove sissy bar

Some people say it's OK to lift under the shocks but I won't do it. I position my lift just to the rear of the shock cans. Or I guess you could get a set of these although depending on your lift you might not be able to to get your particular lift under the frame.
