Re: lift cab off frame

Man there are some other good methods too, I like that eye bolts method from itsRandy. Nice!

Here are some measurements of mine. Note the ** on the left. I had to turn the end 2x6 to clear the hoist as you can see in the second pic above. Also I used a variety of 3 and 4" wood screws depending on how many 2xs I was screwing through. I predrilled all screw holes so the wood would not split. If you have any Qs just let me know. another note if you move the hoist eye position away from you it will move the center of gravity toward you so the cab will tilt toward you as opposed to away from you. Still I used the strap to make sure it didn't tilt away and slip or fall.


EDIT: for some reason the long 2x6 dimension is fuzzy. it is 68" 2x6
