I picked up a nice trailer jack off of Craigslist over the weekend. A near new triton.
Worked like a charm to lift up my flippac. I wanted to put a small shim along each bed rail, then re-did the seal tape.
It honestly couldn't have been easier. I unbolted all the bolts, then lifted one side. I put 3 short wood blocks as a safety in case the jack skipped/dropped. Then jacked that side down & did the other side.
It even lifted enough so that I could add a layer of foam along the cab side of the bed (I did that in 2 halfs).
- For folks with a garage, or wanting to make a "jig" for there flippac, you could probably get away with 1 jack. Lift 1 side put blocks under rails. Drop the flippac onto the blocks, move the jack to the other side & repeat.
You could then put your lumber under & hoist away.
