Hello,
Does anyone out there have airbags or some sort of "helper" spring on their steering axle? I have a 2007 Freightliner Columbia auto carrier and I'd like to give it some help on the front end. Anyone know of a kit or a brand I could follow up with? Thanks!

What's the deal? Does it not have a 13,500# front end?

Any suspension shop that works on trucks could add a leaf spring. Or offer recommendations for whatever you're trying to accomplish.

The air bag setup for the front axle is the tits, takes all of the jarring out of the front end, had that setup on my 384, probably going to put it on my 372.

I drove a 2014 Freightliner that had factory installed air bags under the front axle. Problem was the valve did not work correctly and the air bags would not adjust to load, just full pressure all the time. Wrote it up and the company mechanic could not under stand air bags were supposed to adjust to weight, so they never really worked correctly. Not the truck in my picture, another one.
