Thanks a lot for the replies gentlemen I really appreciate it. After talking with quite a few people, I believe I am going to go without the air-ride cab. I spoke with a local motorhome/toterhome builder here in Wisconsin. He has been around the business for years and has worked on/with many other builders. He says the best thing to do is to bolt the cab to the box and make it one solid unit. The pivot point will be in the front of the cab as usual, and the rear suspension is what takes the movement of the truck from the pivot point all the way back. All he uses is a calk tape between the two and then caulks around the cab-to-box joint once again. It sounds easy enough, plus I'll gain more length by leaving out a 3-8" gasket plus, like Bob E said, I will not have to worry about leaving much room above the cab. What do you guys think of this?

Thanks
Joey
