porky69 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Are you looking for height to top of frame? It depends on how the truck was spec'ed. Varies with frame size, suspension model, tire size, etc. There is no such thing as a general "specification". Doesn't matter if it is Freightliner, Volvo, Kenworth, Mack, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Dreamer Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 When we did our bed design , I show that top of our frame rails on our Century was 38-1/2". That is with 22.5 tires. I believe all the volvos I saw were in the 40-41" range. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennWest Posted February 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Ok. Thought I had a problem. My hitch is lower than it suppose to be. May have to raise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix2013 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 If you need an inch or two I would adjust the suspension valve. It will not affect the shaft angle that much, the distance from the axle to where the hitch is probably 4-5 feet and it's an arc so you will not be moving the suspension valve as much as the back of the frame in the hitch area.
