Couple of tips, first hold the switch on down and pull the good cable to collapse the cylinder to give you some slack. If you use the Tommy kit it will give you both cable and it will be precuts to the right length for your lift. I normally spray a little gray primer into the upright channel to make it easer to see when I route the cables. After you are done it is super important to have the cables adjusted correctly. Both sides of the lift should make contact at the same time. If not you will have a busted cable much sooner then you want to deal with. It is supper important to route the cables correctly. If they are threaded wrong it will destroy your pulleys with is a difficult and expensive thing to repair. The Tommy p/n for there cable kit is #3123 (this is for a model 60 lift on a full size truck)

I have a slightly bent arm on one side. So I have to pull the left side when dropping the gate cuz it sticks. Not sure what happened. The truck use to be my dad's and he installed the lift cuz he use to load oil barrels full of oil for recycling. That was his retirement job/hobby.

arm can be replaced, part includes pins to hold them in. Will need a welding machine to install. Also p/n# 3818 Kick out spring will fix the sticking when going down. @@markhopkinsphoto7257
