so I just bought a 2004 W900 with ag380 rear suspension. The rears are in adjustment 8 1/2 inch to axle center laden. The rear frame is 39 1/2 inches off the floor. The front frame is 42 inches high. I have owned a few trucks, and this doesn't seem right. Every other truck was level end to end. I believe it has the wrong springs in front as they are beefy 2 leaf springs and I thought an 04 W900 had 4 leafs. Any thoughts? Thanks for your time
frame level?

All the rubber is 285/75 24.5.

What's the steer axle weigh when empty? Does it level out under load?
-
And bobtail the rear goes up 1/4 inch like it should. I bought this truck sight unseen because I am a gluten for punishment.

put some 22.5' on front.

I haven't taken it to a scale yet, but I can throw a trailer on it and move the 5th wheel back and forth without squatting the front. I think maybe someone put some real heavy springs up there

I have all that beef on my pete 379 tiraxle steer axle. i run 20k pounds all day and everyday on my front axle. I weigh it when getting on the scales at work. I run standard ai trac rear. It was forward rake unloaded. So just saying, i dont think beefed up 20 k springs actually raise the height like that. Just saying. But hey i dont know everything

I really just wanted to make sure no one would tell me its supposed to be that way.
