    Sounds like you're blaming the company for something you did because they're going to put this on your DAC.What to you mean trk suspension lowered high?

    Sorry dude but its your fault. You didnt get out and check the height of the 5th wheel to make sure you didnt high hook a kingpin. The term GOAL applies here too as for backing. Goal is Get Out And Look.

    Your right its just ive backed into a load tons of times, never with an air suspension, i didnt relise it was set to lowerd, and it was just a rubber strip, i could have just thrown it in my truck and lied, but i was honest. Do they realy need to report that?

    I'm guessing on the cab. The extenders for aerodynamics, its more than likely listed as a preventable as well from the company
