Ozzy, which machine do you use every day, the greg smith one or the AAE model? What is considered low profile? I have a 225/45-17 and 275/40-17 sitting here. Will those size tires require the assist arm? thanks,mark

Does anyone know anything about an ALM lift? Is this a good lift, are parts readily available? I can't find a manual online. Any comments appreciated. thanks, mark
