Not a smb lifting mechanism, but possibly a CCV. All depends on the size hole already cut.

That being said, you would basically need to completely remove that top and start fresh with it. Would be a substantial amount of work. But I have given thought to such a setup.

Unless you mean a poptop on top of a fixed top. That would be a sight to behold. And whether not its safe/doable/smart, i want to see it done!

CCV says they will do a pop-top on the high-roof Transit. That must be over 14' when popped!

MSD should be able to give you a good insight as to whether or not CCV can do that for you.
If he doesn't post here today, reach out to MSD via PM.

Doesn't need reinforcement, our frame is strong enough for the Transit high top. Done a lot of them...
