Oh! I almost forgot. Mine goes to the ground every time. I have the side stand down and lower the bike slowly. The bike will tilt onto the side stand and the lift continues down to the bottom and I pull it out.
The welds look good on mine. I left it as it was. I have used it twice on the Ultra and the lift handled the load well. I stored the FXSTC over the winter on it.

I use a small rectanular screw jack, looks similar to a screw jack in cars they give for changing tires. most places that sell lift tables sell these also. You can even use that on the floor to pick up front or rear.

Also just my opinion on how high to lift and not knocking Dr V Twin. He's a good guy to get parts from.

I hate to be MOM but your pictures scare me to death. Guess 45 years of seeing heavy lifts in a shipyard and too many accidents. I would never lift a bike as far as this on this type of jack. It needs to be on a full drive on lift and a scissor jack to catch certain areas for this kind of height. To put ones self in harms way like the gentlemen cleaning the bike is just too risky. I use a lift since I do not have a place for a drive on lift but I block the wheels and stand with 2 foot long pieces of stacked 2x12's and its only height enough then to get a wrench under it. You really need to stand back and look at this and think what you are saying is OK to do. Just my opinion.
All the pivot points are held with what, maybe half a dozen grade 8 bolts?
I only lift as far as needed and make sure it's tied off.
Thats why I have a roller seat so I can get down to the wheels with them only a few inches off the floor.
Bit hard to lift 900 lbs when it sitting on top of you...
