    do you have the bump in the wheel or is mainly in the cab??
    on the ih's like that---iirs there is like one shock in the center of the cab at the back--i cant remember what limited the travel--but it was broken and that cab was like a bucking bronco---but you would also notice it when you were getting in the truck,if you jumped on the running steps

    there is no shock on the cab. 2 springs. one on each side with hooks that clamp down & lock tight. I looked at the springs & clamps today. all in good shape.

    Thanks for the info. I did not know a truck tire could be pushed off the bead once it was aired up.
