Great design!!! My actuator must be a little different than the on you used. The push rod must be bigger on mine because it hit the bolt on the lift piece. I made piece 2 & 3, 1/2" longer and drilled the 3/8 hole 1/2" further out which gave me the clearance I needed. Haven't welded it up yet, but its coming along really well. Thanks for the measurements and design.
If you ever decide to make a kit (of the pieces needed to do this) and sell them lmk please. I'd be interested in doing it to mine. I already have a 6" actuator on hand new in box
I will have to think about it , as stated in video this requires a 4 in stoke , 6 in will have to much stroke , shipping will be high because of the weight of steel , Thanks for watching

Pure genius...
I realize that this post is 4yo, but have you noticed how painfully slow these actuators when under load?
