DIY Stable Lift install... god help us.
Just started the whole installation process today. Needless to say, after 6 hours, seems like we got basically nothing done. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

I really question 8 foot 8 inches (104") is wide enough if that is the outside measurement.
I have a '04 DRW Dodge with stock tires. Outside to outside of my tires is 8 feet (96"). As I recall, the lift motor heads are about 3-3/4" wide. With motors on each side, that makes an outside width of 103" without any clearance. I would want 2" to 3" clearance on each side. So, with the clearance added that brings the [COLOR=]total outside width to 107"(8'-11") or 109" (9'-1").
The inside of my bed is about 2" wider than my TC, which allows the TC to move 2" side to side. This means I must have 2" clearance minimum just to accommodate TC movement
If someone sees a discrepancy in my calculations, please post. I have my Stable Lift from my SRW that I would like to install on my DRW. But, I am a little concerned with the overall width.

Your absolutely right. I think I have something confused in my head. I'm going back down to the shop to make sure .
