    The air bump stops is gonna be the cheapest and easiest way but you have to factor in structural integrity of the cab as far as a better ride too. Simply having my cab mounts too tight made it ride so rough and feel every bump. And sounded horrible. You can also only do so much with the road...

    That broken lower spring will not come out. It will only walk so far before the bend and force of its sister spring stops it. It will hit the A1 spring brake can holders. But no airlines. Also your the safety critic that assumes it is being driven on. Give it a rest. Sent from my...

    Truck came from Honeywell rebuild in 2012. It was a very nice truck till the engine gave out at 330miles. Overall the truck was in great shape. The spring breaking it just from the roads I believe there is a lot of slamming and bucking going on especially with a long neck trailer I am sure that...

    Yes one is broke and starting to walk out. One is just cracked. This is the second set of springs on two different bogeys. I will post some pics tonight in my 60k mile report. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

    The rears take a pretty good beating as well. This bogey was installed in December. Broken lower leaf on both sides. Heaviest bed cargo has been a hmmwv. Or tires. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

    No they don't. None of them run a lift block on the front with a leaf spring. Maybe a spacer with a coil spring but not a lift block on any type of leaf. A lift block is solid and your spring flexes. Your block then becomes a leaning house of cards on a turn and the block will flex right out and...

    It is against the law in a lot of states and very unsafe to use ANY lift blocks on the front axle. Unless you just want it to snap off and the whole front of the truck laying all over the highway. But some folks are adventurous.

    If thats the case in Pennsylvania then no A1 or A2 or any truck with military beadlock wheels can be driven on the road legally or pass inspection. Not to mention the tires are out of date that we usually use. Quite honestly a brand new truck off the lot can fail a DOT inspection if the officer...

    Most military stuff is not overbuilt. Compare the tie rod ends of a HMMWV vs an H1. Its scary. Same thing with trucks in the 5 ton class. Plus safety isn't really a factor into suspensions vs that of the civilian market. Remember.... https://youtu.be/CuAUE58MQt4 Sent from my SM-G935P...

    Air bags do nothing to help. Profo did it on his camper and it still feels like the front end is going fall apart on some pot holes or hardly hold the wheel. He is onto the next step of just having softer springs made for the front end. He put a camera out under his fender well without air...
