"220, 221, whatever it takes."
I got to thinking about it and decided Kingpins and bearings are expensive, so are springs.
 
that little jump cant be as bad as some of the roads here in michigan BDAB. it would be like driving the northbound right lane on 75 before they fixed the holeslast summer.

I wouldn't know, I don't run alot of I-75 north of Saginaw..... in fact I don't get north of Reed City a whole lot. Right now I am on a steady run (well 3 days a week) from St. Joseph to Louisville KY (auto parts plant is moving).
 
actually north of saginaw is better for some strange reason. i was refering to the stretch between ann arbor and flint. maybe it was 23?? hmm im not sure now. anyways most of these michigan roads suck.

I have seen worse. The roads in Arkansas used to rattle your back teeth out. there is also a 30 mile stretch of I-94 in Indiana that is always under construction because of chronic pothole problems. but yes, on the whole Michigan just sucks period.
 
actually looks like it landed pretty smooth, coulda been a hell of a lot rougher, and im sure he bounced into the ceiling of the cab, but coulda been worse
 
Seen some other jump videos, guys get the landing ramp just right and you can jump a stock vehicle pretty smooth and not hurt it.
 
Dang...I thought it was about truck sex or something...

That reminded me of myself doing flying kicks years ago...something that big is not meant to fly...lol~
