I know the drop-down bracket lifts come with longer radius arms and drop down brackets for them. You're going to need some radius to do the lift right .

It still needs to slide tho. One using those easy movers that can be placed under furniture to help move um. But want to use real drawer tracks.

Whatever the factory put in them is what I run... in all my cars. But, I live in paradise, so climate is not a factor. Central Valley... I'd still run factory weight. Brand... just something good. Valvoline, Chevron... basically, whatever we kept in bulk at the shop. These days, I'm considering switching to synthetic since I'll be doing it on my back and want to do that as little as possible.

It gets hot here in the summer, sometimes almost 130F. Running a thicker oil is bad for economy but good for bearing life and oil pressure. I've always run a thicker oil then recommended and gotten ridicules life from my engines at the cost of fuel mileage. I should mention I am rough on equipment and it's not uncommon for me to run for ling periods at 4K+ rpm or bounce off of the rev limiter.

Just a little FYI with the High lift. When they are uncovered and outside all the time the jack has a good chance of not working when you need it. I use to carry mine on my roof rack and now I have two rusted ones sitting in the garage. One day I want to sand blast and rebuild them. Now I have a Craftsman aluminum floor jack inside. I am going to mount mine inside to the cage.

The problem is the springs and the pins rust and if you line-x those, it will not function either. The hard cover is the best protection. I guess I lernedd a bit after having me Bronco far darn near 23 years.

Note the poor Grammer and spelling, was intentional.
