help on bendpak xpr-10a install final adjustments

[porkyzilla]

Hey guys, I am having troubles making final adjustments on my xpr-10a. the safety locks are sticking on non power side. I have been trying to adjust it and cant seem to get it to work. also the carriage arms dont want to seem to adjust evenly. any tips? I am about 1/4 inch off between the sides this maybe is the problem for the safety locks.

So just adding more tension won't allow the non-power side to release?

1/4" is nothing, mine rarely lifts evenly.

when i called bendpak they said it needs to be exact. next time I am paying a professional installer to come out. I will take a video of it maybe.

That's hilarious. Get it exact empty and it won't be loaded. Get it perfect w your Silverado and it won't be with your F350. And on and on and on.

But yeah, if you feel you need a professional installer, then yeah, you need a professional installer.

not with the equalizer cables I dont care about 1/4 inch but im tired of trying to figure out the saftey lock issue. one last go around today gonna try a few things if not calling someone out. this isnt my first lift i have put up dont understand why im having so much troubles with this one.

on non power side I had to loosen cable tension and grind on the lock a little bit to make it not stick. after taking a grinding wheel to the bottom edge and lubed it up more got it working perfectly.
