I do not know, but it was around 1000$ to upgrade when I ordered my truck.
russtrucker Thanks this. -
I've driven a few different makes in Europe with air on front, I'd suggest taking a test drive first, I owned a couple of scanias with it and it was beautiful, super smooth, the Volvo wasn't as smooth while a Renault I drove wobbled and wandered around the road like crazy, so drive it first, if it's setup properly you won't regret it but a bad system and you'll hate it

I would love to more comfort and less weight.

Done. Also there is less stress on the truck too, so you save money and time on the maintenance. I think in North America there are two system what is widely used. The Paccar with 4 bags, at KW is AG130, at Peterbilt I do not remember the name. The other manufacturers use the Hendrikson front suspension system. With its two bags, there are more complain about the wobbling and wondering. With the AG130 it is minimal. I got use to it in a couple of hours, and since I have no problem with.

My t600 has 4 bag AG380 air ride.

We are talking about the steer suspension.
The AG380 is the 38,000lbs rear.

You guys know it actually works as a supplement to fewer leaf springs.

The T660s, T680s, and T700s at Navajo don't have air ride on the steer. I had it in the 07 Volvo I was running OTR. Really took some getting used to, and accounted for more than one white knuckle moment.

The Volvo has the two bag Hendricson suspension system. I think the AG130 is much better in this matter, but still need a little time to adjust. Just to jump in one truck with it, and cruise down on the icy road can be scary. But I have no problem with mine at all by now. I like it, and I would spec it again in a heart beat.
