    Help, I had a load 36000 lbs, noticed that all my cab airbags were deflated and had the hardest time keeping the truck between the lines has anyone ever had such a problem?

    Not to many thing cauae that. Id say check the air suspension valve. Most likely the little arm fell off, broke etc.. Go to the air bag itself, follow the air line it will take you straight to it. If you do not no what I'm talking about. I suggest a trip to the shop, even a truck top shop.. What kind of truck?

    I can't really see how cab air suspension is going to affect vehicle handling. Maybe give a rougher ride at worst. Not unless the steering column was binding up a bit because the cab is tilted back too far maybe?

    Is there audible air leakage? If not the leveling valve, maybe a supply line broke somewhere.
