Hello All

Have a 2011 Volvo VNL. Truck rides horrible, replaced all front leaf spring/shackle bushings and shocks. seems rougher that before. I do have coil springs under rear of the cab and not air bags from the factory. Looking for ideas of how to possibly upgrade to air bags on the cab or how to go about it. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thank you for the input. Will check the rear air bags and see what the pressure is. Truck is set up as a potable water truck no fifth wheel. Rides worse unloaded.

 

Checked wheels and changed front tires with no change to ride quality. Truck does have air suspension. New cab bushings, checked motor mounts, ride height, kingpins, wheel bearings can't seem to find what the hell it is. Only thing left is to try and convert to air ride cab if possible or some aftermarket set up.
Anyone had hard ride issues with this type. The ride is harsh as if the suspension is too stiff, you can feel every transition in the roadway. I have a 2011 water truck VNL with sleeper and it rides like a dream. If anyone has ideas would be greatly appreciated.

 

Even installed new seat, ride is a touch better loaded. Still horrible.
