Default Re: Mack R model ten wheeler dump

I bought the mack cab 2nd hand. Not sure where it was made. Im impressed with it.The lift might be a knock off by lesu...i got it on ebay from joes ...it works nice and smooth and seams suited better suited for short box 6 or 10 wheeler end dumps. When installing You have to find the "sweet spot" in the frame to bolt it in. Bolted in To far forward it will not lift the box very high. To far rearward and I question the strain it would see trying to lift the load. I mounted mine between the axels to get good hight and good leverage. Where it's mounted it sits about 15mm above the frame rail so that it clears the axels and allows them to articulate? This is ok because the tires will extend about 5 mm above the rails. Here are some pics focust on the lift.
