I almost bought that one as well. However, after a couple of trips to the local store and reading on the box that these winches (vs. hoist) are not recommended for vertical load holding I went with the hoist. Now, having said this I've seen them used in several of these applications, so maybe...
Cajundoc, I looked at about 50 examples of different lift methods that people have put together. Several used the boat crank that you show along with every imaginable form of powered winch. I ended up with a solution that best fit my needs and garage space. There is no wrong way to do this.
While it works well like I have it now, if I were to do it again I would either get two of these 4-wheel trolleys or 2 of the 2-wheel trolleys and space them out more to better balance the load.

I was...

Update: Dropped off at dealership this morning for the 2nd time. Thanks to this thread I requested they look at the compression in cylinders 2,4,6. They will submit an inquiry to STARS? and said they have dealt with one other truck with the same issue. Hopefully this means I've skipped...

Flew to Houston yesterday and picked mine up. Loved the drive back to Dallas to get to know her a little better. Have enjoyed getting to know this community a little better over the past month before pulling the trigger.
