Nice catch, that's a very smart and powerful solution to the problem. The resulting forces are similar to Bill's earlier scheme, and highly effective - you have the lifting power only when you need to have it, avoiding
unwanted lifting power when closing up for travel and trying to push down the last inch or to, in order to hook the lift bars and shell ends. (Both my gas struts and better torsion bars fight against you when you're trying to close.)
But he did A LOT of work , building that "winch mount plate" with the tilting arm assembly, and it is something additional to carry around within the truck.
