Abstract
A pulley assembly for raising and lowering an associated vehicle body comprising a housing including an outer sleeve extending along an axis. At least one top pulley wheel is operably connected to the outer sleeve and at least one bottom pulley wheel is operably connected to the outer sleeve and moveable relative to the at least one top pulley wheel along the axis. A cable is weaved between the at least one top pulley wheel and the at least one bottom pulley wheel. An actuator is operably connected to the cable to reel-in the cable and draw the at least one top pulley wheel towards the at least one bottom pulley wheel to lower the associated vehicle body. The actuator further reels-out the cable to permit the at least one top pulley wheel to move away from the at least one bottom pulley wheel to raise the associated vehicle body.
