    My freightliner fla rides like a cream puff. Hardly punishing. I think a lotta the drama against cabover is blown out of proportion. Or, like is often seen with Detroit 2 strokes, is propogated by people that didn't drive them to begin with.

    Not so much, ask anyone that had one with bias ply tires and spring suspension, it was brutal at times.

    Bias tires are bad on any rig. An air or spring ride with bad shocks, worn bushings, or torsion bars, will ruin any ride, and I'll add bad tires, or out of round tires.
     
    Grubby and x1Heavy Thank this.
