Nice! If I'd been able to approach it from behind, it may have been a bit easier as well. Unfortunately, my minivan that is undergoing a transmission replacement was in front of it, so no room left on the concrete
Also, your hoist appears to have just a bit more reach than mine to boot. For me to reach the midpoint of the bed put the ram cylinder nearly up against the bed. You're right though. If I'd done my homework and done a better job lifting at the CG, I probably could've done without the spotter.
