I do have an option for you but there is not a longer arm that can be added to the Viking Solutions Rack Jack II Hoist part # 310-VRJ001. There is also not a hoist that offers more lift than this so your only other option would be some sort of pulley system like the ProGrip Hunter's Hoist w/ Pulley part # 317-404780.
