If sufficiently strong casters are sourced, then you can move the gantry when loaded. Many commercial gantry cranes are available with casters that can support the rated load.

or just use donut spare tires like the junkyard does
They can, but that link you shared states "Do not move units while loaded." Just be careful, if you get those they are for transporting the gantry unloaded.

My 15” rims are of mystery origin and backspacing, they are the spray painted chrome bulletholes that came on the 40. They won’t even bolt on the 40, we had to get 1.5” wheel spacers to make them clear the steering arms on the 40, so when I swapped them onto the 80 I moved the spacers with them.
NVM, found a steel supplier in Durham that has reasonable prices, and doesn't force you to buy an entire stick to get 6' of something. J&D Recyclers in Durham. They buy and sell scrap, but also stock new steel that they sell as well.
On my way to secret squirrel training in WV, I am loving this little fridge! That’s food for 3 days.

I’m looking at buying a hi-lift jack and was wondering about suggestions. Should we go for the 60” or is a 48” good? Is extreme the way to go or the regular OK?
West Virginia? Squirrel training? Must be top secret as only Grey Squirrels go to WV voluntarily. Former WV resident, moved to follow a girl.
Recommend 60" regular. "extreme" gets you a special head end that you can attach chain to and clamp things together with, but it's not necessary.

It’s the best year because I have one
from grassroots motorsports forum?
Well of course that’s part of it but besides that there’s no OBD2 just like a 95 but 93 and 94 have the school bus transmission and bigger control arms on the rear axle.
So some of you might remember that I broke down in my 60 on the way to the Meet and Greet in March. It's now June and I FINALLY got around to repairing the thing. Turns out the transfer case seal blew out and it dumped it's contents into the 4l60E... So, both were removed, disassembled, rebuilt, and returned to place. Got it back on Friday, only to have the shifter cable come undone on the ride home. Drove it back today for adjustment and I was pretty happy with how it felt.
No longer referring to it as the Plague..... in hopes that the reliability improves.
