Can anyone give me some feedback on the Humpback ball lift system? How well does it work, installation problems, does the system hold up well, cost or any other pertinent information.

Here is some feedback from a thread a while back.

I have had them operational for 3 years.

The Humpback is great.

Ball call elimination.

Here are the King install tips:
1. Use stover lock nuts rather than the nylock nuts supplied.
2. Use grade 8 bolts rather than the soft grade 2 supplied.
3. Install the lift are without bending if possible.
4. Install lock nuts on the ball lift height bumpers for the proper adjustment.
5. Do not use any Vantage clutch pulleys....the v belt will slip inside the groove due to pressure lifting some heavy resin balls.

Got one 3 months ago. We put it on the most trouble pair. Like the commercial "set it and forget it". we'll be doing the whole house soon, we have kickers now. The best part is you can put out as much oil as you wan't without a problem.
