However, if you are dead set on going ahead, you can buy some steel tubing and fabricate the lift kit on a drill press. Here is what you are getting, it looks simple enough.

Bruce,
You make a valid point. Thanks for the picture. I have considered building my own lift kit (I have the tools and talent). But when Sonja at TM quoted $24 for the kit...I just jumped on that. However, I have read reports that TM is slow to ship...which may not work in my favor.
Brakes and bearings are an easy task for me. So that shouldn't take more than a few hours. ...which reminds me...I need to order two bearing dust caps & rubber end plugs. These look like they were beat to death with a 2x4 and are oval shaped. End plugs are dry rotted and don't fit the oval hole.
Thanks again...appreciated!
