Using your picture you linked to is a good example. I keep thinking the height along the sides should be a parallel line equal to the centerline of the front and rear axles. Given the wheelbase, I'd think even another 4 or five inches would be much better than the height of the unit in the photo.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Everyone has a preference. I think if it were higher it would look like one of those ridiculous trailers w/ 2' of clearance under them. The higher you go there is a higher center of gravity, more noticed wind effect. Keep in mind these trucks are huge, there is alot more clearance than appears. I think you can adjust the bag pressure to raise and lower a few inches...Warpath?
