JL hardtop balance point

[2wheelz4me]

Does anyone know the balance point for the JL 4 door hardtop with the rear window closed? Building a lift and need to know where to mount the pulling point. Thanks all!!

You want to lift if from a single point?

 

[2wheelz4me]

Correct. Single point. Like an H shape where the middle of the H has the balance e point. Tha ks!

I have built a H. But I have not used it yet as it is still freezing here.

so ready for summer Wibornz! So did you put the balance point or have you not done that part yet?

 

[2wheelz4me]

Anyone else have any input? Thanks!

Sure hoping someone can help me out. Building my lift this weekend and really need to know where to put my lift point Thanks in advance!!

I have not as the weather is no cooperating. It is going to be another two weeks before it gets into the fifties.

I'm still confused about what you're trying to do. Why not use multiple lift points so that balance doesn't matter? Or make an adjustable track right down the middle (Front to back, I think it's safe to assume that's the roll balance point) so you can fine tune it once its in the air?

The way I am wanting to build this is with a single point. As stated if I went with 4 lift points I wouldn't need the center point, but that is not how I am wanting to construct it. I can put a channel in it if needed but was hoping for an actual measurement for a permanent position.

I know this is a year old thread, but it would seem an answer was not given. if anyone still wants an answer i should have one this evening or next.

Any reason you are set on a single point lift?

Thanks guys. Main deason I'm set on single is that is what I had for my JK and just building the part that actually connects to the top. Set up worked great on the JK
