snowmobile lift ?

Not safely, in my opinion. I have one, and I stopped trying to use it years ago. When you drop the suspension out then there is no weight on the back of the sled and the machine wants to fall forward. Well, not actually fall forward, but it is not balanced well at that point and becomes unstable. I thought I wanted one of those lift tables like the nice one above, But for rear suspension work I don’t think that would be very good either. I would have to put an extension of the back and then have a bumper lift or over had chainfall or something back there to raise the machine up off of the table. That doesn’t make sense for me.
 
Yes, because with the weight of the track and suspension removed, the snowmobile will want to fall forward. I still almost never use my lift. I pull suspensions with the track about 4” off of the ground, with just my bumper Jack/warm up stand.
 
I welded about a 4” extension onto the “hook” of my bumper lift years ago. It still rubs the flaps, but doesn’t hurt them. I have sticky foam on the edges where the flap rubs. I use milk crates a lot too.
