ive never driven an air ride dump truck but it doesent seem like a good idea to me.

First PDF is for customers, the other - for technicians.
IMO 6X2 truck w/o ECAS is a real pain to drive on snow. -

This is the setup we have. We also have another complete take off (one drive axle and one dead axle) from a local dealer who thought it would be easier to sell a truck he had with 2 live axles.
A push button dumps all the air of the tag for traction (absolutely a must) and also kills the brakes so you can drive with it dumped if you wish.

the simple tag axe, no lift bag. one dump valve and that is all... practically - very reliable designe.
Why I prefere tag axe - no DS! in UK they love pusher axe and to remove DS is the pain! -
Since I haul a lot of bulk loads I've been thinking of using a tag axle on my Pete... it would save about 1,000 lbs I've been told.
The only disadvantage is I field load during the harvest season BUT there is always a 4WD tractor around to pull/push the trucks in and out when needed. -
MY truck when i took off a axle and went single axle i lost 4,000lbs but now im blowing air bags so im about to but my axle back on the truck
