KW vs Pete suspensions? Are they similar?

I’m not sure if KW offers air ride on the front axle, I’ve never asked and don’t think I’ve ever seen it on a KW.

 

I don't know if you really want air suspension on the front axle anyway. It's nice to have a steel suspension front axle. Your cab will soak the rest that it does not.

Big trucks have a general similarity in behavior over common types of airride suspensions in use today, the make does not really matter because that is just the Cab Body and certain other things.

KW builds are pretty quality if I say so myself, my last T2000 was just trouble free, and it had to be for medicines to deliver. I would prefer some other rig, but that was what I was issued and that was what I had to work with. The truck did great on bad concrete roads. Just a normal steel suspension up front.

 

I’d have to agree, I owned a 2007 Volvo with air ride front axle, I really couldn’t tell a difference with it.

 

Can't get the air ride front on a W900 i tried this on one i ordered.

My 389 definitely rode incredible with Factory front air suspension... It's a very very good setup !!

 

There is nothing bad about the handling on air ride fronts on the new petes. We have been busting the pedestal where the back bag mounts, which is bad, but these are in sever duty use on the haul road, I doubt it would ever be a problem on the pavement.

There is a guy that has been building air ride fronts for petes and KW's for several years at fox, these have been tested and survived the haul road for years, but have gotten pricy. He may not even be doing it anymore since pete has started offering it from the factory, even though his are a little heavier duty.
