        Will this mount to a slanted ceiling by self adjusting the cables to be shorter in the back and longer up front..thanks

        • This could mount to a ceiling with a slant however, the mounting would be slightly different since the weight distribution will change. This kit however there will not be 2 cables, there is only 1 which make it easier to have the weight distributed.

        Where are the pre-installation Instructions it talks about in the lift instructions ???

        • They are referring to the beginning of the guide, where they recommended determining the direction of your ceiling joists and the spacing between them.

        how wide and long is the crank? thank you.

        • It is a little wider than the hardtop and about 3 feet from front to back.

            Top hoist

            The hoist works fine. There were two things that kept me from giving it 5 stars. The hoist is very slow so I took the handle of and put a nut driver on my cordless drill to operate it. Also the directions are not very good. Only took an hour to install.

            Works Great!

            It was a little tricky to install given high garage ceiling, ensuring attaching to studs and fitting in between garage door opener, ceiling lights, etc. Did some careful planning and it worked out well. Saves so much room in garage!

            Hoist

            Easy to install. Like most instructions the last part putting the foam parts “the white foam” this should be done before adding the cable to the frame not before or it won’t slip over so I had to undo the 3 cable clamps and redo that part. Also the hand crank is very slow to lift but does the job. For the amount of times I will use this it’s ok . Lifting from the ground to my ceiling seemed like ten minutes of cranking.

            Review from Lange Crank Hoist-a-Top (87-06 Jeep Wrangler YJ & TJ)

            Love this hoist

            I had purchased a cheaper lift off of ebay and got what I paid for, it used a rope pully that twisted easily and it was off balance, not user friendly. Purchaseed the Lange Crank Hoist-a-Top, works like a champ. Intall was easy but takes some time. The crank runs smoothly and it is easy to use, makes taking the top off and putting it back on really easy and keeps it up and out of the way.

            Strong and easy to install. The best I think

            This was very easy to install and I think the best on its class because the hard top is not quite light weight and this hoist hold it very easy and I feel confident leaving the top hanging from the ceiling. I recommend this one above others.

            Missing pieces and parts

            I can not use this product as it is incomplete and missing pieces and parts. I now have to figure out what else to do. The instructions show parts that weren't included in the box and mounting hardware that was also missing. It would not fit my 2005 2 door Unlimited Rubicon. By the time I went to use it, cause my top was already off, to put my top back on, it was past the return deadline.

            Crank hoist

            Does job. Cranking is easy, but slow. Low gear ratio. Not a big deal, have soft top too and only lift / lower hard top 2x a year. Have 2dr Jeep. Most of the weight is held by rear pulley cable. May not rest at a level position to ceiling, tilted a bit like installation video. Relatively simple install.

            Does the job pretty good

            Not hard at all to install. My garage ceiling is sheet rocked and my electric stud finder crapped on me, this my only issue. As far as cranking it up, it us going to take some time. I use my drill with socket to get most of it up then manual turn it. Seems pretty solid. Only regret is now I am thinking of upgrading to electronic crank.

            Hand crank is a lot of work

            So first off I love the hoist it works as described. Installation was easy with no surprises(watch the YouTube video. But I Hate the hand crank.... it’s loud(squeals) and takes way longer than I had expected. I WILL be upgrading to an automatic crank.

            Great, but....Instruction Revisions Required

            The Good - The hoist and lifting frame work great! The Must - Watch Lange's instructional video. Use a battery operated drill/driver and a 19mm socket instead of the provided crank. The Bad - The instructions need some revisions. There are a couple of pages that show erroneous dimensions or use of screw types. For instance, when mounting the crank support board (2x6) it shows using lag bolts(4), but only 2 lags are provided. The 2 lag bolts are for mounting the crank to the support board(2x6). Next, Lange only provides 13 (12 1) 3in. screws for mounting the support boards (2x6's), but 4 support boards are required, 4 screws per board plus and extra should be 17 (4x4=16 1=17). Lastly, the directions show the rear pulley placement equal to the back of the top's location. This is erroneous as the rear frame lifting location = the rear pulley location does not correspond to the rear of the top.

            Nice system

            The item works however the fact that the rear window must stay open when lifted was not obvious when i ordered it. As a result this means it takes up extra space and can not be hung to close the rear wall in my garage. However it still works very well and over all I am pleased.

            Installation was pretty easy. I couldn't get it to balance so had to drill a new hole to lift back of the top. The worm gear cranks slowly but works much better with a electric drill and a socket on the nut that holds on the crank

            This thing works well. It was pictured in a video or pic with the winch mounted to the side but instructions are for front or back only. I couldn’t do this. I fudged with bought swivel pulleys to mount the system sideways. Used all the same front/back measurements. Works Great! I think the provided pulleys are the weak link in the system.

            Lange Crank Hoist-a-Top Installation

            The directions for the installation were good and we had it put together and installed in about 3 hours. My problem with the setup is that does not raise the top level. We tried adjusting the length of the wires several times. The back side with the window is heavier than the front. So the pulley winds tighter causing the back to be lower than the front. Also the gear ratio on the crank is awful. It takes a lot of cranking to move this from the floor.
