The high enough isn't an issue, at least with my hoist. With my 2x6, dropping it down below the level of the rear of the hoist boom would be a bit of an issue (I didn't need to go that low to get mine on the rotisserie), but could be solved by adding a pivot point that was lower than the 2x6. Just fastening another chunk of 2x6 in a tee shape would do it. I relied on 2 buddies and a neighbor to set my cab on a pallet (which wouldn't fit between the legs of the engine hoist.)

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
