Abstract
A suspension system for use with a work vehicle. The suspension system may include a suspension tower to which one or more shock absorbers may attach. The tower may permit the shock absorbers to attach at multiple locations, effectively allowing the angular orientation of the shock absorbers, and thus a suspension characteristic of the suspension system, to be altered. The tower may be movable relative to the vehicle, e.g., for crating/shipping.
