Like Cutty said, you don't.

However, my T-Rex front stand is convertible. I use the fork lift for most uses like putting on tire warmers and throw the upper piece on for wheel swaps or fork work.

T-Rex are good stands for the money but the bolt-together design will wear out over time.

Thanks for the visual.

Now lets see a pic of that stand lifting from the fork bottoms.

Lets also see a pic of the receipt where you spent more money for one stand than a whole set of T-Rex's.

Pit Bulls are without a doubt the best stand available. This thread isn't about Pit Bull stands.

Different tool for a different job. I had a old POS set of LP stands that went under the fork bottom. They sucked!


Hey, they are pricey but you said it... best out. Just making sure the guy makes an informed decision on his purchase.

Hell you can also run a mc jack
