Can I lift a 350lb standup jet ski from the water to my truck bed and back? that is, can it lift 350lbs when fully extended?

The wieght would-be no problem but the arm is short.I welded a pulley on the end of mine. And welded the hoist cylinder to my trailer and cut the rest of the hoist off

weight wise yes but your going to need to use the shortest chain as the lift dosent go that high.my 4x4 i couldnt use it because of that reason

I am not aware of any way to motorize the Heavy Lift. I have 4 of these items and I've been satisfied just using my drill. This does not mean that it CAN'T be done. Would require you to do some "home made" design and engineering. Actually it might be fun project.

Would not recommend it. The max lift according to the manufacturer is 200 ft. You need to go to 3/4 or 1 hp.

Well, you are not alone. I completely missed that wt limit also, if it was there. None of my friends can use it. One friend who is 145lb could not really make it work. We ended up doing some redneck engineering with some boat bumpers and can sit on it, but not stand. I am going to save for my neices and nephews, but all of my crew is too heavy.

I found the 100 lbs lift to be just about perfect. I have not researched it, but I think 120 lbs would have been even better in lifting my truck bed cover, if they make a stronger one. I have several feet of angle iron reinforcing the fiberglass bed top bfore it was coated (so it still looks good on the inside). I do not see any failure points. I do not know what was on my truck, but they were too weak to make any difference. I put on these 100 lbs and they provide the lift I need due to my bad back and number of back surgeries I have had.

Yes it will raise the rear of the truck even if there's no weight just make sure you air them Up.

I have a double door van that weighs 6000 lbs and it lifts either end no problem. I would assume an extra 300 pounds gross wouldn't make a difference. That's probably only going to put a few extra pounds on the jack since you aren't actually lifting the entire 6300 lbs with the jack.

None...that's the same watercraft that I have...I bought the larger size and it was about 8" too short. I ended up going to my local jet ski shop and buying one.

If you have the boom extended and crank the winch all the way up It will lift an about 3 1/2 - 4 ft item. (it will depend on your set up. the distance from your hitch to the base of the bed varies from truck to truck) This is about the best one I have seen on the market

I am going to say no. I tow a 3500lb boat and it does start to squat. Towing feels fine, I would like a little more firmness. As for the lift I can't answer it.

It depends on the lift, but you should be able to with no problem. We just use a simple lift and it works fine.

It will fit in the back of a pickup truck my husband hauls it in his ram short bed with the tail gate up it but does hang over. One man can lift it but it is awkward to move alone. If you are sliding it off the truck into a lake or pond and sliding it back on a truck it can be done alone.

Go to the Air Lift Suspension website to check applicability for your truck. It does not appear your truck has a rear kit available. The kit #57295 does not appear to fit your truck. That being said, unless your are hauling crazy heavy loads with crazy heavy tongue/kingpin weights, you should not need air springs on a 3500 (unless it's a SRW). Also, the other response is correct. If you can afford it, buy the onboard compressor kit with in-cab adjustment capability. I did not and regret it every time I hook up my fifth wheel.

So I think the weight needs to be spread out. If there are 4 wheels then it can probably handle the weight. The thing I wonder about is width and control. The ramp is edged and the bed of the ramp is only 13" wide. Also, I think it would be pretty steep - could you keep control? I would take a tape measure and measure out the length, and then hold it up to the back of your truck and look at the steepness of the slope.

No I have not, but you are only picking up a little more than half the weight!!!! I believe I would buy the bigger lift to be safe!!!!

No issues at all. That's what this thing was made for. I have a regular pickup and it works great for loading my atv, wheel barrow full of debris, and dollies with appliances. Having a lifted truck will make the angle pretty steep, but the ramp will handle it without a problem.

Yes, the 3500 lbs is to lift the tongue and not the entire trailer so it is plenty. Normally the tongue weight is 10-15% of the trailer weight which is 350-525 lbs in your case.
