If it's always in a similar spot in the garage do what I did....sink a big eye hook rated for a bunch of weight into your ceiling....go to lowes or Home Depot and pick up the thing linked below....and boom.

After you get in just lift slightly, Velcro in place, and your stoked. If you need a drop from your ceiling just add some chain.

This might be the best way for me to go. I'll have to investigate this one further. The soft strap is especially good because of all the bimini and bimini cover material around the tower.

2x6 and 3/4" plywood to evenly distribute the load across the fiberglass... I have 2 410s... WAY HEAVY.

A local buddy has 2 410s on his '16 A22 tower, but he never has take his tower down. How many people does it take to get yours down??

2 people (me and wifey). I can do it myself, but feel like I am going to herniate, or drop a teste, when I do.... it's freaking heavy.

Either going to raise the roof on my garage, or go back to a REV 3 some.

Alexandera, what size garage door are you having to lower your tower for. Curious if a T23 will fit under a 7' door header. Ive heard the new A22 will fit (contrary to what the website says).

I need every bit of 7'3" and I have an upward slope working for me.

I probably lose about 1", because I do not let my tower rest on the supports when lowered.

My bimini rubs the weatherstripping at 7'3"... got to keep it at least 1/2 full on fuel too.

Raising my garage roof in the next few weeks and putting in a 12' door.

Guys this is simple, unless the 2016 tower doesn't go all the way to the back seat rest top when down. I simply pull out seat 3 or 4 inches and put a cut length 2x4 on top of motor cover behind seat longways not sideways and push seat against it, tower rests on wood. If I had big rev 10's on tower I would need a couple of extra inches of wood so tower rests higher and speakers would not hit seat or rest on seat back top. Spare 2x4 and saw, cheap and quick. No, I can't trail like that, but my cover works nicely over folded tower to eliminate dust

hahaha I do it myself every time with just two pair of icons and there is a point towards the bottom, especially when lowering, that I worry a bit.
