Sweet! Why did you go with the 3'x3' instead of the 2'x2'? Just asking because I've been looking at them as well.

Our 2’ that came with the lift are bowing a little

yesterday our setup was in a swail where there was standing water
I was surprised but the 3’ did settle a little bit
 
Great pics! Do you feel like they add to stability at all? I keep some of these in the truck if the ground is unlevel but usually I am fine with just using the standard pads

Thank you Sir

Setup is the most important procedure on a lift same with a crane I would think

The ones that came with the lift are great but it’s wet season in Michigan so the extra stability is safer

Less impact on a customer’s property

And if the lift goes out of being level then it locks you out (manual let down))
 
Yep, we were locked out of the lift once, outrigger was over an underground root that settled in enough for the sensor to go off. The operator had to rappel down off a nearby tree. I haven’t had any issue with the pads and soggy ground hurting the property, we just are careful with the tracks to mat in but once we’re ready to set up the standard pads haven’t pushed in the ground. That’s here in central Virginia with our famous red clay though.
