Default rear tire lift question???

Anybody got a rear tire lift I can get measurements from? I want to weld up a bar lift for my Heritage Softail to save a few bucks...well OK, a lotta bucks. I'm sure alot of guys have thought of doing this too. Thanks

What are the numbers? I need outside measurements on the box (L x W) and length of the breakover bar. Also need the diameter pipe. Does yours have anything on the box to keep from scratching the frame?
