What I am looking to do is put some chain or wire on my front landing legs that would allow me to hook the chain / wire with a hook and raise the leg without me having to bend or get down on my knee to lift it. Due to health issues it is difficult for me to get up and down for this task.In order to raise them the chain / wire would almost have to be attached somehow to all four corners of the landing pad I believe otherwise it would bind when pulled only from one side.Has anyone done this type of modification and if so can you share the details?Thanks!Dave

If attached to the pivot point of the foot, should only need that single attachment point.You would need a second to pull out the pin also.

Pull the snap pins and lift inner leg using awning hook

Get an eye bolt from the hardware store with a 1/4" shank long enough to reach through the lower landing leg. Washers and "self-locking (or aircraft)" nuts.Replace the pin that holds the foot onto the lower leg with the eye facing out.Hook with an awning hook.
