I had to "pull"(jack turn buckle in tension) it about half of the total travel, then support it ( jack turnbuckle in compression) for the other half of the travel.  I think i read about some one using a hydraulic jack to raise their cab "some".  I think the forklift would posibly support the cab assy on the way forward, (if you jacked it past the balance point) but how would you get a soft landing on the way back ?</p></blockquote><p></p>
