I don't know how the rest of you jack your trike but this is what I am doing. Would recommend a jack stand on each end when removing tires.Made this spacer today, 5"high. Bike lifts level.
Good job. I've been thinking about the solution because I have two good lifts, but I never could firm up exactly what was needed. A list of materials would be greatly appreciated!
Are you able to get the lift under the bike with the extension in place? I know that it's a dumb question; but consider the source {me}.

The base is a piece of 5"x5"X 1/8" plt. with bent flanges at 3 1/4" inside width, check the width of your jacks arm before bending, a piece of 1"x2"x4-3/4"lg. rectangular tube and a 5" piece 3/16"x5" flat bar. It ends up 5" high. A notch was cut to clear the cross brace of the jack and to be sure it is centered on the jack. Place it just behind the crossover pipe on the rear axle A- frame. Place the jack under the bike 1st the reach under and tip the adapter in from the rear making certain that it's set properly before jacking. I used it this weekend to install the primary vent kit, worked great. Use an additional jack stand if removing tires.
