Default Frame Lift on Sport Glide Milwaukee 8

I have both a table lift and a frame lift, and each has advantages and disadvantages. Any issues or tricks to using a frame lift on this new Softail?

On my former Fat Boy and now Deluxe I put my Sears yellow peril lift in and under the frame so it ends up next to the rear of the side stand spring. Push it in so it's away some from the left lower frame and jack it up. Once up I put two tubes of ABS DWV plastic pipe between the forward outer lift frame and lower front axle, then lower it onto those supports to stabilize the bike from rocking.

I have a Pit Bull frame jack that is the best I've used. I can say this after owning two kinds of table lifts, a Harbor Freight jack and a Sears jack.
I've used the Pit Bull on my RoadGlide, my wife's Sporty and my 2018 Fat Boy. It lifts them all with no problems and is so solid, I don't need tie downs.

I also have the Sears yellow jack for my 2018 Heritage. Perfect fit.

Thanks for the quick replies. My frame lift is a Pit Bull which should work fine based on your responses.
