Message	enough. I bought a 1 ton from them a while back and just got around to pulling the engine in one of my z's. The boom does not extend out over the engine far enough. The hoist was hitting my front bumper and was pushing it in when lifting the engine out. It sort of pulled the engine forward and out. Not the sort of thing I would want to happen on a Z with a nice paint job. I put something in between the hoist and the bumper but was concerned that it might crack the bumper or paint.
