I can't go on Facebook at work. Can you put up a different link or what's the brand maker?

I just think it's funny how he keeps saying that his 170 tire makes the bike taller.. 170 is the width, it's still an 80 height tire..
What kind of paint does he have on his bike, it looks like that powder coat red chrome..
What is that noise when he turns the rear wheel?? Is that the blocks of the belt hitting the sprocket??

The 170 tire actually does make the bike taller. Stock size is 150/80, with 150 the width, and 80 representing the sidewall height, as a percentage of the width. Therefore a 170/80 will be both wider and taller than a 150/80, since 80% of 170 is more than 80% of 150.

Dobie is correct, the 170 is taller than a 180..  Actually has a larger contact patch too.

that creator of that lift is a long time member on the Magna Riders Forum. He has been using a prototype of that lift for awhile from what  I read.
