That sounds like something I need to see. Can the cab be put on bags in the back (with necessary modifications) using the front mounts to pivot off of? Do you have to raise the front of the cab a bit? I assume they have little shocks to dampen the bounce? Where do you get “kits” to air ride...

Yes, I have. You are right, that would solve a big chunk of the ride issue. And it’s a great idea, unless traction is paramount. I guess you should never say never to anything, but I’m opposed bc you are removing the benefits of another axle pushing an already heavy truck through sand or mud...

I have got 16’s on the 923A2. Pretty stiff tire. But they sho do look good!

The only reason I’d use chopped down springs as spacers, is to maintain ride height. Heat isn’t a springs best friend, but if it’s a shorty, used as a spacer, with no flex, Im guessing it would be fine.

While we are talking about it, has anyone tried putting air bags/shocks on the back of the cab in place of the cab mounts? Basically, mimicking the air ride cabs in big rigs. I realize all this may sound a bit excessive for a typical 5-ton, and it is, to a certain extent. But, I’m building...

I You are right, it does help a lot.

I have dual air ride seats. My back wouldn’t tolerate the stock seat!

Yeah, I had wondered about that. I thought removing every other one, maybe 3 total, then cutting them down to fit toward the bottom of the stack, to serve as spacers might work. Like to see if anyone else else has tried it before I have them cut.

What about LMTV springs with an airbag?

Anyone try it up front? The front suspension on these trucks is too much for what *most* of us use them for. The 2.5 or 5 ton ton LMTV springs seem a bit small, but I see there are MRAP springs available too. Im just looking for an alternative to the giant steel timbers on the front that are...
