Here is how I extended the table, I welded some square tube on the bottom of the table and bolted some 1/8 X 1 & 3/4 angle iron in it,

And as you can see I extended the lift arm and I'm going to do the same with the release lever.
OH and takes about 80 Pumps to bring it all the way up,
SO : Jatnjeep be nice to you father and get him an Air Lift one, LOL
