A suspension and clearance assembly includes a wheel hub and a hub attachment component. A suspension component is pivotally attached to the hub attachment component at one end, and a first clearance linkage is attached to the hub attachment component with a first pivot and with a second pivot to another end of the suspension component. A second clearance linkage is attachable to an agricultural machine frame and includes a pivot end attached to a third pivot of the first clearance linkage. One end of a cylinder is attached to the first clearance linkage and another end is pivotally attached to the second clearance linkage The cylinder retracts and extends to raise and lower the agricultural machine frame for variable ground clearance. Movements and/or vibrations between the wheel hub and the agricultural machine frame may be damped or suspended hydraulically with the suspension component.
