    I have to move the GT and would like to lift it from the top. I have seen on the smaller versions that there is some attachment.

    See photo attached. Anybody know if there is a way with the GT model? I have been looking but can see where.

    Thanks

    Does it have the holes for the 2" bars?

    000_0032.JPG You can see the bars on top of the jack stands, front and back. Sorry for the fuzziness. It requires 2" diameter steel rods.

    Yes. You can see the bar sticking out on the left. I don't have it anymore or I'd send you a better pic.

    seems that on the GT model they covered the back holes. There front ones are still there..

    The only way I can think is to lift from the front, then level with rectangular pipes..

    Any better ideas?
