On my homemade cart, I support the back on two points 1/3 and 2/3 of the way across the rear lip, which might put less stress on the whole thing.

One thing I've noticed about lifts (but maybe not all of them): if you leave the top hanging, they will almost always distort the rubber seals permanently. This is why I had to replace mine, the PO did this.
