When setting down the heads, I use two of the old cyl head bolts as a guide. I just cut the heads off of the bolts, get them started in the block, and after the block is down, install a couple of the new bolts and remove the cut off bolts. You can use a hack saw to cut a slot into the top of the cut-off bolts to insure that you have a way to remove them if you run them down too far to get your phalanges around them.

Gantry crane can be your friend aka back saver. Maybe helpful suggestion on your vertical bolts, install the bolts down and nuts on the bottom. My logic is if the bolts get loose gravity should at least let the bolt act as a pin instead of complete separation with the bolt on the ground with the parts. Or if you're real safety minded you could tack the overhead bolts or drill the ends and add a cotter pin in case of the nuts backing off from the twist and flex from the crane.

I swap on/off snow tires every year on at least 2 vehicles, sometimes 3 every year even though I could have the shop do it because shops sometimes have inexperienced or lazy people and you never know what you will get. This is a great tool as I get older but for now it seems a bit cumbersome since it's not incrementally adjustable and needs a reasonably clean smooth surface. I did have a tent trailer years ago and bought a single wheel leveler of similar concept from etrailer, it made setting up the trailer enjoyable because it was super quick jacking just the one wheel rather than multiple trys with blocks. I wish they made something similar for much heavier trailers, I thought about your wheel dollies for that application but never pulled the trigger due to wheels and adjustability.

I bought one to pull boat engines which required it to be about 3 ft wider. I purchased a longer i-beam from a local steel supplier and fabricated the new mounting plates. Worked out very well and yes getting it upright is tough. I kept the original beam in case I need to use it in a narrower space. Where I keep it outside , I drilled two 1/8 in holes at the telescopic base for water to drain out and prevent ice damage. I also spray it with wd40 regularly. I also have the grey unit but when the first orange ones came out there was a coupon with an introductory price of 400 dollars. Naturally my wife stopped me from buying it at the time.
