Spec'd out a PJ low profile GN, 36', 12k spread air ride axles, monster ramps. Regional dealer quoted $15998 without shipping. Too high? Is air ride really worth it?

I'd say go to atleast 40ft. Air ride isn't important.

Really? 40'? I appreciate the air ride responses. I guess if you go 36' you may as well go 40'. More concerned about the added weight of 4 extra feet. Also, what about torque tubes? Are they really necessary?
