    Before they replace the leveling valve when the truck had been feeling like it was jack hammering the frame every other bump it they were hard to the touch but not extended all the way out like now. Were they are now looks pretty much like the drive bags look but obviously smaller version.

    The Prostar cab shock is inside the cab airbag, it’s one complete assembly.

    Well you got Me. Maybe someone more familiar with Internationals will know. I was thinking more of axle air bags.

    They look kinda high. You can see where they normally ride. Unless that’s just weathering from sitting a long time low on air supply

    Yeah that might of been from before the leveling valve was replaced. And the truck was kind of an angle when I took that picture. Which is why that one seemed a little high I think. Ryder is going to replace all the shocks Friday. a guy from aa previous post said that those cab air bags have the shocks actually built into them.
