just a word of advice if you build a wooden jig. When you lift the cab, make sure that you place the jig directly on the cab frame and not the door frames. If you leave the doors shut and lift the entire cab, that puts a lot of pressure on the doors frame. it could possible bend the doors up. I lifted mine with the doors on and closed with no issues but mine was a mockup cab so I wasnt really worried about it. I mounted my good cab without the doors installed. Just my 2 cents. Also dicer makes a good point about extra bracing. Here is another pix of the jig, you can see it has 2 vertical legs. I braced in between those with scrap 2x4's. I also add a small piece of metal pipe to slid into the hole of each leg that the hoist bolt slid thru. It seemed to help when I mounted the jig to the engine hoist as well. Im sure that there a thousand ways to do this but this was simple, it worked and best of all it was made of free scrap wood. I didnt have a single penny in the whole thing.
