    Bobbed m35 with air bag suspension

    If you were able to set up a dial indicator on the various parts and cycle the suspension up and down - not an easy thing to pull off with big heavy truck parts - you'd be surprised at how many components were deflecting. If the geometry is set up to bind - aka interference motion - then...
