Hi there, anyone have or can take some pics of what a rear cab mounted air spring on a K100 looks like. How it fits.
I can buy a kit from the US but I'm told they are for US spec only, not Aus. Surely a Kenworth K100 can not vary that much, rather requiring a basic modification to do the job if the rest of the truck is anything to go on.

Thanks, but there the guys who said it won't fit.
I was watching some youtube stuff trying to get a glimpse. It looks as if there is a bridge bar across the rear of the tunnel that the suspension attaches too. Was hoping for some pics of something more definable.
thanks for the link as that's afar better pic than Link. -
I had one on my K100 many moons ago. CABMATE was the company that made it. Had installed back around 1985 if I remember correctly.
jaffles Thanks this. -
make much of a difference?
I think Link make Cabmate, Cabmate is the product name. It appears when traced back they are for sleeper only so I have that. They are also for a single 3 point locking system, I have 2. But your pic shows a brace across the tunnel and what I dare say is a single rear mount.
getting closer thanks -
I have a hydraulic lock/lift on both sides of the cab.
OLDSKOOLERnWV Thanks this. -
What year model K do you have? -
modern one 1993.
Not sure of the evolution but this one has a sprung front that sort of works. AI for what its worth suggest springing the rear may cause stability issues if 3 or 4 points are all moving. Makes sense but I know my ol bonneted Mack that had a pivot front and an air spring rear kind of missed the point.Last edited: Jun 17, 2026
