It should not do that. The weight of your cab is on the mounts all the time. Sounds like something is flexing big time.

maybe it's got too much of a bodydrop. as in you might need to space up the cab mounts. sounds like it's laying on the body literally pulling or stretching your cab mounts. never heard of thsi problem before but it's my only educated guess. and if that is the case I'd get it fixed asap.

sounds to me like your frame is about to break in half.

what matt is saying sounds like the most reasonable awnser. when i air it out when the cab hits the floor i can still air the frame out about an inch or so. i dont think my frame is going to break because the frame is not cut into at all ill look when i get home and mybe post a couple of pics thanks guys

how much is the b/d? it does sound like the rockers might be hitting the ground before the frame does. If your frame doesn't get damaged, your bodymounts probably will. Thats just my guess though.
