    That must be new, haven’t seen it yet, I imagine it would ride a little better than the rubber block set up

    I believe this is a retro fit kit to trucks originally with walking beam suspension. I don't believe they've ever made it for new builds from the factory.

    Seems there’s been a lot of discussion about this lately…just no one wants to drop 15k for the conversion….
    I would think it would be great and it’s on my list to try someday when my schedule and having the extra cash line up
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    There is both a conversion and full assembly available based off the pdf.

    Yeah it caught my eye because it's offered in a 40k tandem setup opposed to the Air Link suspension by Link Mfg skipping over 40k to 46k. Working out on farms and such, I don't see anything contending with it.
     
    SL3406 Thanks this.

    A big local concrete mix outfit has been using those for 15 years now. The first specked them with the last of the 2009 Sterlings that could be ordered. Since then they’ve had them on some Stars and Petes. I don’t know if they were a test fleet early on or not.
     
    SL3406, ajax1337 and Oxbow Thank this.
