Bucketfbolts,
Do yourself a real favor, buy a good lift. the Sears ATV lift is just that, had one and was not stable with a dresser on it. Scary!
Good luck,
Mike

At one time there were giving a small discount to CVO site members.  Can't hurt to ask them about it.

Another.  The thing I like about it is once the bike is jacked up, you can roll it wherever you want.  Makes it easy to wash every inch of the bike, then roll it into the garage for detailing.

All of the add on devices will do NOTHING for you if the swings arm has any lateral movement. The way to test for this is to remove the rear tire and shocks from the bike and try to move the swingarm side to side. If there is movement then the best thing that you can do with the 01 and earlier flh suspension is to upgrade the swingarm pivot from the older Cleve block style to the new style spherical bearings. There is a kit availble from Drag Specialties part number 1302-0207 for 329 retail that includes everything needed for the upgrade. Even 02 and up bikes with the sperical bearings have the lateral movement problem when they wear out. Correct this issue and the bike will ride like its on a rail.
Is this the right one? https://www.axiomcycles.com/pages/item/itemdetail.asp?item=03%2D019%2D0090

That kit does not include the axle, the one I quoted was including a new axle.
