With the help of a friend, I was about to get my new lift put in today. I'm an auto mechanic by trade, so I'm a bit spoiled for not having to flat back work.
The jack on it is pump only, but a quick google search shows LOTS of people replacing the with jack with an air over hydraulic unit and running is as an air lift. That's something I may convert to, but for now I need to get the bike back together before I disable the lift i bought to work on it with.
