Re: 1954 3100 C4 Tube Chassis Build
Get all the weight engine, front clip, cab doors and box on. measure the height, then remove approx. 1/8 from each side with a table saw, then see how much it lowers. When you get loose approx. 25-30% of the highest travel point start to test the shockwave with air pressure to see what happens. Due to the shockwave not being able full support the full weight of the truck, use the fiberglass leaf like a booster for the shock wave. By sneaking up on the narrowing of the leaf you find the optimum use with both. buy having 70% of the leaf in tack you could run if one of the bladders fails. This is my plan, it is only a theory, I'm still about 6-8 months before I can test this on my truck. Just and idea that I thought that I would share.
