If anyone can help, which is better a 2 start lead screw with a 5:1 gear ratio tough box or a 4 start lead screw with a 12.75:1 gear ratio tough box? Any other ideas would be most welcome and once again PLEASE HELP! (I am truly sorry for all caps) Please either reply to the thread or e-mail me at dbarker (at) psdschools (dot) org. Thank you!

Well, we can't really answer which is better (at least not without additional info).
What's helpful to know is how heavy is the load you are trying to lift? (140 lbs-150lbs?)
How fast do you want to lift it?
I'm assuming you want to know which will lift your load the fastest?
