    On a set back axle? That will be really, really long.

    How long is TOO long? I've read 280" is as long as you can order without having to sleeve the frame (I don't want that as I'm trying to save weight everywhere I can. I hear all these drivers ordering 300". I want the BIG stand up double bunk sleeper (I believe it's 78" sleeper) Also everyone says the longer WB trucks ride much much better.

    I believe it's 196", but I can't remember 100% for sure and haven't measured it. Barely enough room for inlet/outlet piping for my pump between the tank and fender. Personally I wouldn't go that high but there are guys that do. I know we have a couple guys in the 260s.

    I'm out here to work and and like to make work easier. I really don't care about how I look, hence the Volvo lol.
