Ever thought about building Lever Arms that attach and detach easily using a 5/8" pin and the hitch pins? That way we can put up and take down easily and those of us with cable systems on rack can also use lever arms! I see Gorilla Jammer Arms does this and saw another company that sells adapters to make any jammers do this.

You have some options. You could drill holes into the sides. This can be done with a corded or cordless drill and drill bit. If you don’t want to do that, you can use non-swivel casters but that will restrict movement to a single plane of motion. Swivel casters mounted to the front will work for everything but overhead movements.

Pretty easy with pillow blocks at least 5/8 steel rod thru the blocks and the wood. Still use a 2x6 against frame but probably need to push pillow blocks out a few inches for clearance of the 4x4. So use the 2x6 to cut off 2 blocks 2” for the pillow bocks to rest on. Use 3 or 3.5 in construction screws to attach blocks to main 2x6 (3 each side with pilot holes, but watch where you have to bore holes for the pillow bocks. The 5/8 steel bar and pillow blocks can be found on amazon. I’d use an angle grinder to cut bar to proper length. Those are cheap enough. Or Titan has the brackets for ~$100 and you can bore some 5/8 hoes in your rack with a drill and metal step bit.

How would you apply this if you don't have a power rack? I was searching for a DIY Viking Press but this is kinda the same concept only difference is it's not a fixed bar but Unilateral.
