    I've been looking for a setup like this for local transport.
    What engine and miles ?
    Transmission is a Allison 6 spd ?

    Hammer hit it, lowers the front of the car on the ramp, much easier to make height, also probably a bit more aerodynamic, the weight stays about the same,because a that angle your weight is "thrown" forward to the lower leg/cylinder lift point. Lifting that deck can throw up to 1200 forward, this setup is VERY seldom if ever overweight on the rear axle unless you have a very heavy vehicle WITH a LOT of overhang right on the back, even one of my 16,000 tractors on the back I am legal on height AND weight! 20171130_102755.jpg

    Hello Mike, not an Allison, it's an automated manual, two pedals, gas and brake no clutch, 10 speed Ultrashift, Engine is DD13 with 410hp and 1450tq truck is 2010 so NO DEF, (2) 100 gal fuel tanks, Truck has 960,000 on it, I have these identical trucks in my fleet at over 1.2 million and still running, trucks have never hauled anything over 52,000 pounds total gross, so they have never been worked hard. VERY nice and clean int. 2015-06-29 11.11.32.jpg 2015-06-29 11.09.39.jpg 2015-06-29 11.10.03.jpg
