I had issues lifting the cab using straps. It would pinch in the edge of the roof leaving dents. I made a jig that works similar to those just shown, but could be used with your gantry rather than an engine hoist. 2x4's in the doorway spread the load and can be adjusted for cab width. The top bar can also be adjusted for higher crown roofs. Worked like a charm and no damage.
