    Anybody knows the standard height for a 93 freightliner cabover
    The truck is air ride has a low 5th wheel n is on low 24's
    I believe a fld 120 or a classic with the same air ride suspension is about the same

    On regular 24's its yea high. Hook a trailer on to it and it should come out to 13.5 at the top of he trailer give or take a inch over the nose.
