I got 2 sets, on one they are about 30” overall and the other is about 25” overall.
But I think you could add other straps to balance it out , just a a matter of how to tie it all in together .

love this, so much easier than chasing straps through the trunk and resting on the weatherstripping.
Im thinking maybe a 2x4 or metal tube could be a way to support the straps horizontally so you dont have that ^ taking up some of the distance. if you just attached these flat hooks to the 2x4, they could be like 3" long, and clip the hoist to it.

That would totally work as well and I had the same thought when working on putting it together.
I actually swapped the straps to slightly shorter ones and picked up another 4-6” of height from the floor.
looking at this as a donor webbing https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006QGDA8Q/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
I think I can use both sides to get 2 straps from 1 if I use a wood spanner.
What padding tape did you use on the clips?
edit: just to update, the clip isnt really ideal for it. too sharp of a bend. Im going to try to hammer it out to more of an L vs a U, but not sure I can managed to do this with the tools I have. really need to find a bracket with a 75degree bend that would sit deeper into the groove.

I just used some felt backed tape I got off Amazon.
That strap would work, just have to come up with a way to attach it to your cross bar/wood. You could get a buckle to fold the raw end of the strap back over to create a loop. You could also just run some bolts with washers through the strap and a piece of wood. My only concern with using a piece of wood would be it might start warping at some point. Something like unistrut would not have that issue.

I ordered the straps from the link and its the wrong one :'-( It's one O ring and one hook sadly. Do you have the link for the O ring and 2 hooks?

That link is for the single straps .
You could just order another single strap and then add a caribiner to attach the 2 O rings together. That’s what I ended up with as it was a little shorter than the below option. (24” strap length)
They have a Y strap they sell and you could just cut off the un-needed part. Those are 30” strap length. I also tried this, it was just a little longer strap which put the top a little lower.

Otherwise, they could custom make it, you just have to email them and tell then what you want. Hope that helps.

Does anyone have photos of the assembly plant? I'd love to see how the factory handles the roof - what attachment point, etc.

But that's a 3 point harness with strut bars.For those concerned about hanging by the slots, My Lange Original lift uses them, and I store the panels on top. No issues so far!
