IF you have installed a frame kit, YES.

Interesting. Perhaps I'll assemble the top end in the frame and avoid having to put it on the side and lower the frame over it. I wonder if Ron assembled his this way...

Only if you have a frame kit..

I find it easier to wrap the frame and muscle it up and out, its only ~200lbs. Once you get it out of the "whole" and up on a tube put a car jack there and wheel the thing out, easy easy. Only takes me about 20 minutes of fiddling by myself
