    I Have 9 9 w900 KW with 8bag suspension heavy spec . The rear suspension works fair for traction
    but is terrible on washboard hills etc. Has anyone tried anything to help this problem. Seem like you have to keep backing out of the throttle otherwise it just jumps.
    thanks

    Do you have good shock absorbers on the truck>>>Shocks are what prevent the wheels from hopping.

    have you had it bushed lateley? My ag400 (8-bag) non-heavy spec. goes thru bushings every 4-500,000 mi. If your hauling heavy life span goes down.Also I tried neoprene bushings they lased longer but rode kinda hard.
