Top hoist/storage

[Alumbaugh]

I am building a hoist setup for lifting the top and storing it for the summer. My thoughts were to have rails that the top sits on to simulate the bed rails on the Blazer (thinking it will be better for the seals) and not put any undue stress on the top to avoid any twisting or other malformations of the top (if that is even possible). Checking to see if there is a better idea from someone who has done it before.
