Improving front end ride-2005 T600

Horton roller pins and bushings,and move 5th wheel back as far as legal. Also check/replace front cab bushings, you will be amazed at what a difference it will make.

 

drove a 95 t600. it was nice with all it's air bags. defenitely much smoother then the w900. which has less then half the bags. and nothing on the cab.

pull your 5th wheel back 3 notches. that'll take the 750 pounds off the steers and put them on the drives.

unless your pulling a tank then there's nothing you can do. the drives are going to be around 34 so you need that 12,500 on the steers.

 

AG 130 (KW air/leaf setup that replaces your steer axle spring packs.) Very nice ride, unfortunately very pricey- price quote for my 2007 T800 was .approx. $3800 for the parts.
Unless I win the powerball, I will prolly go with the Horton pins, and an after market air bag set setup that mounts on top of the steer axle springs. Can't recall the name, but they advertise in some of the truck sales mags available at the truck stops. talked to a few guys around the Hartford, IL/St. Louis area, and they really like the ride it gives. Downside is about $1800, and instead of leveling valve, this kit uses a regulator that you have to:
(1) Adjust it till you find the sweet spots.
(2) For best ride, you have to re adjust regulator loaded / empty

 

Donvel is the name of the add on air bags; was thumbing through my latest copy of HDT mag.,and saw their ad.

 

so what do you haul to get that. cuz i can't get over 11,300 on the steers. with full tanks and 34k on the drives. i run my 5th wheel about 9 nothces back. which is about the halfway mark between drives.

 

that's the difference. the position of the tanks. mine are farther back. under the left door is 4 batteries and under the right door is a compartment box.
