    I have always found that a loaded truck rides the best.

    Mine rides like a '48 Buick Roadmaster when you get about 46K on the tandems... smooth as silk.

    Don't ask how I know.

    Scania with 34mm two leaf springs or air front suspension or mercedes actros, neither of these can be beaten for ride comfort

    Depends on the system, some are based on us style crash gearboxes, boxes based on synchro boxes work much smoother and newer generation boxes work as good as auto boxes in mercedes or BMW cars

    Maybe I'm wrong but I was sure they're 34mm, if not then it's 32mm, it's the heaviest 2 leaf spring, rides beautifully
