I am running B-trains in Canada, why do the rear axle's have to be 46000lb?
I'm looking for a newer truck so would like this info to search the ads.

Someone that is a little more technically savy than me will be able to answer you about the internal differences of a 40K vs. a 46K axle, but I know the Gross Combined Weight Rating on Super 40's and 46's is anywhere from 140,000- 170,000 lbs. when compared to a regular 40K axle which will normally have a GCWR of 110,000 lbs.

As posted, Super 40s are fine for Super-B work.

It's nice to have heavy wall 46s with a lube pump....

Depending on where you're running the majority of the time, you could get away with running just straight 40s with a super b behind you. Super 40s would be better and 46s would be best if you running in east of Ontario for any length of time.
I miss my super 40s with super b. Nice smooth ride vs heavy spec rears with 16-20k fronts and 5 axle behind ya -
What are super 40's? Some kind of hybrid of 40 and 46's?
