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.

Wagonqueen Truckster, my numbers broken down
Your[COLOR=] outside tires and/or the fenders are 96". If you add 2" per side clearance you have 100" inside the lift.
To that, you must add [COLOR=]the lift tubing/jack which is 3" plus the [COLOR=]mounting plate flange 1/8" a total of 3-1/8" per side. At this point, we have 100"+3-1/8"+3-1/8"= [COLOR=]106-1/4" outside dimension.
Now we have to add[COLOR=] the lift gear box which is 3-3/4" wide. This is 3-3/4"- 3-1/8"= 5/8" additional width on each side, or 1-1/4" overall. That is [COLOR=]106-1/4"+ 1-1/4" or 107-1/2 inches.
I think the total outside dimension should be a minimum of 107-1/2 inches.
