    So my international 7600 tri has a 20k front axle that rides absolutely horrible. Has 8 leafs in a pack. No shocks from factory. 425 floaters. I've seen other trucks the same as mine with 2 or 3 leafs on a 20k front axle setup. Would that ride better then what I have while keeping the 20k capacity?

    A 20k front axle with a forklift on the back is going to be very bouncy. I ran a truck almost exactly like the one in your profile picture. Looks like you load it the same way I did, heaviest pallets right on the front helped when loaded.
