NC Hauler,when the air ride trucks come out you will be ready to trade!-just teasing!-whsk
I for one don't think air ride is all it is cracked up to be. I drive a '13 School bus with air ride and air ride seat and it is not any better or smoother than the '08 with rear springs that I drove before.
I believe the new air ride in the DRW changes the empty ride comfort. They put a really soft leaf spring in the rear for a better ride and pump up the bags for the bigger payloads.
But air bags don't change the carrying capacity of a truck, it only levels the load so you should be able to run the bags with no air up to the GVWR of the truck.....LOL
But see, if the OEM does it, it is GREAT! Got to have it!
But, if aftermarket does the EXACT SAME THING, it "doesn't help any" ! (sarcasm font).
