I have access to a 2-poster ramp, but I only wish there was that much headroom available!
That said, I have no intention of doing that to mine ... Regards,

Would it be possible for those that have done this body lift to combine
their knowlage and perhaps write a proceedure in PDF format for the
forum members benefit. I know many will just pass the job on, but
others are sure to give it a go, I being one, at some stage the body
will come off for some repair or other.D3 bullbar-spots-roof rack with spots-ladder-long range tank-swing out spare wheel carrier- upgraded tow bar-dash console-internal water tank-duel awnings-drawer system & T T.
