Regarding my Genlift sling comment. I made mine from four tie-down straps. At home I installed a large "eye" bolt in the garage door header. My come-a-long (or a boat wench) hooks into the opposite end hooks on the tie down straps. The tie down straps hook onto the frame where they cannot scoot towards each other. Other gensets (no cross bars, or one) may want to use the Norther Tools factory made as it has a small pipe between straps to stop scooting. I bring mine up, back the truck under it and let it down. Then use a tree or a helper when at the campsite to unload. I can pick up and unload without the straps, but why if you don't need to? I'm 6'2" and 225lbs and use the sling.
