ABSTRACT:
A cab tilt assist mechanism is provided for use with a suspension system in a cab-over-engine truck, which is mounted between the cab and frame on either side of the front of the truck and is operable to provide a fixed pivot point about which the cab may rotate during a tilting operation. The tilt assist mechanism herein carries all of the loads imposed by the weight of the cab during a complete cab tilt operation without affecting the stiffness and damping responses provided by the suspension system between the cab and frame.
