I love my Freight-Shaker! 2022 Cascadia Yea I said it! I know it's no long-nose but she's mine! And I'm stuck with her!
She looks great and has everything I need!
But I have GOT to do something about making her ride waaaay smoother than she does. It's like strapping your butt to a brick and getting thrown down the highway!
I know just replacing all 6 shocks will be somewhat of an improvement. I did replace the 2 cabs shocks with Gabriel Fleet Line. Noticed a difference.
But would love to get advice and/or pointed in the right direction. Cause the feedback from the way she rides is getting to the point where it's killing something I absolutely love doing...trucking!

Shes a 2022 Freightliner Cascadia
cuzzin it Thanks this. -
A 22 and it is already beating you to death? Dang. Does it need new shocks and air bags? That would be where I would start.
Oh and stay off of Texas roads.Iceman1643 and Big Road Skateboard Thank this. -
Make sure the ride height is set properly.
OldeSkool, Iceman1643 and TX2Day Thank this. -
Yea I believe they "supposedly" set it when it was in the company's shop. But that's when I was company driver. They did put shims in so they had to adjust it somewhat.
There isn't a set way of measuring is there? (like a trick to it)
Thinking on my next trip home is having dealer take a look at it. -
I'm pretty sure with her sitting on 302k miles the shocks are beyond ready.
-
If the 5th Wheel is movable, move it so the king pin is at the mid-point between front and rear drive axle or further to the rear. If you put the kingpin in front of that mid-point you will notice that every time you hit a pothole you not only feel the up and down motion but also something like a slap to the back of the head, a front and backward motion.
-
Mines stationary but sits about 4/5 inches forward of the mid point between drive axles.
So you think I should reposition it to the middle.... -
And I would think that the farther back it sits it would lighten/lift the front-end?......no?....

Not gonna lie, I love Texas runs! Indiana is far worse in my opinion
