I have the Vangater wheelchair lift in my van and I figured out an easy way to get an extra 4" of travel out of it. For this demo we blocked up the wheels 4.5". I have 33" tires with stock rear suspension so that adds about 2".
The Vangater has an actuator that controls the attitude of the lift. After the lift deploys and the foot hits the ground, the angle of the platform (attitude) pivots down. By moving the hole for the linkage out and lengthening the linkage, you can make the end of the platform tilt down further. Then simply attach a block to the bottom of the foot.
