how do "lift kits" for a truck work?
142980
There are two types--body and regular lift kits.  Body kits consist of urethane spacers (like hard rubber) which elevate the body of the truck off the frame with longer bolts.  The steering linkage and brake lines sometimes may need to be lengthened or bent to allow for this extra height.  Body lifts vary in inches.  Some people get wild and get a 6" body lift.  \n\nRegular lift kits have longer u bolts and big spacer blocks which elevate the leaf springs off the axle.  Obviously the stock shocks all have to be replaced.  ON the newer trucks with CV joints on the front, there are large brackets and stuff that move the A-arm type suspension down while the frame is raised.  You cant just put a spacer in the front suspension.  Then shock mounts have to be changed and longer shocks put in the front.  It is no longer a simple job like in the old days (1970's) since there are no solid axles in the front anymore.  Be sure to get a drop arm for the steering box (if it has one) and a drop pittman arm to correct for the new location of the steering linkage.

Most racks have floor mounting kits that attach to the rack and bolt to the floor. These are installed after either removing or retracting the wheels on the bottom.

Lowering them is so stupid.  Trucks were made to be higher and able to handle bigger loads of stuff in the back and rough terrain.  Why would you mess with that so that your bumper scrapes on everything?!?1  STUPID.

need to know the mechanics of the lift you are proposing. Otherwise the answer is just 826 N.\n\nAre you worrying about compresive load? Tensile Load?  Which Joint?

Lift is used to pick some weight and take it away from is start line up it can move up and downa and in some case right and left and left and right.

Rent a U-Haul truck and move it yourself.  You will save yourself a LOT of money doing it that way and you can tow your car behind then.  I have moved across country doing that and believe me, it is WAY cheaper than hiring a mover.  But, if you want insurance on your items then hire a mover to do it for you.  That way you are insured for everything that is being moved in the event that something gets broken.  Its totally up to you.

your trailer most likely has two pull-out sections, one in front [near the hitch] one in back [over the tail-lights]. After you raise the roof,usually by cranking, the slide out areas [usually beds] will pull out [usually a loop of webbing for handles]. Most people store the support rods under the matresses, hopefully the former owners showed/told you where they are stored. On the underside of  the outside corners of the pull-outs you should find a metal slot or a loop, and on the corners of the frame of the trailer, usually painted black you will find a round cup-like receptacle. Your support rods should have a flat end and a round end. The round end inserts first in the cup-like recepticle on the frame, and then bending over scoot yourself under the pull-out section and stand up slightly to lift the pull-out section a bit and the flat section of the support rod should fit into the slot or loop depending on what your manufacturer installed. so the bar will go from or near the outside corners of your pull out sections down to the frame.

if you got it a truck brought it.

This is not against the wall, but how we store large items in our garage.  My husband made a pulley system mounted in the ceiling of our garage with a platform connected that could be raised or lowered and then locked in place for storage.  there was enough room to pull his truck into the garage as well as walk underneath it.  It works great.

Yep.  A fan will do the trick, or if it's a vehicle used for a specific purpose (like carrying something from set point A to set point B) a pulley system would work.  I don't know the exact equations involved, but the fan's windpower strength should be (obviously) greater than the mass of the vehicle, and should have some kind of failsafe cutoff switch as well as a means to decrease power to the fan, for (again, obviously) safety reasons.

Ask a fork lift driver where he got his training.   Most large companies with warehouses will train their own fork lift drivers and provide a way for them to get a certificate.

believe it or not ---- Home depot carries a short work platform just right for higher vehicles

Use a container truck's scale

There are many answers to your question. Gravity obviously. Another example is if you are try to lift a car with a lever or using a pulley to lift something.

Buy a winch and hook it up towards the cab of the truck in the bed.

Many jurisdictions allow a maximum weight loading per axle for commercial vehicles.  When a concrete (cement is the powder that glues concrete together) truck is fully loaded 9 to 10 yards, it will typically exceed the maximum allowable load.  The extra wheels are called a dolly.  These are hydraulically operated wheels that help spread the load onto another axle and therefore bring the truck into compliance with axle loading limits.  When the load is delivered and the truck is empty, the extra axle is raised to help reduce the turning radius of the truck.
