In order to overcome the excessive throw up motion in the back seats of independent suspension cars on hump-backed bridges, will you please increase the rebound wheel movement as much as possible on the front of both the Buick car and 19-G-IV.

The Buick will need some bent shock damper levers producing. We should like to have as much as 6" rebound wheel movement if possible; 19-G-IV can have another 1½" rebound movement by removing surplus metal from the levers inside the Dubonnet boxes.
