Mp134 why did your group choose to support the tractor cab like that with 2 sets of lift struts as opposed to the way my group did it with just one set of lift struts in the front ? Also did you guys chain the front wheels it doesn't appear that you did.

The second set of struts acted as a safety. As the front was lifted, the set in the middle of the truck was adjusted to the new height. If the front struts need to be moved, the second set keeps the truck up. As for the wheels, they were chained. You can see the chain coming down by the car's door.

Yes, 1 on day 1 and a different 1 on day 2. They are only used to set up the cars, the class does not use them.
