Welcome to the site first off, and sorry to hear about your loss. Most dump trucks are spring suspension, but on the occasion you see one with an air ride. I don't think the truck will get stuck up because of air ride, the air ride is just for a cushier ride. Maybe somebody else will have a better opinion over mine though. Good luck with your business decisions. Try posting this question in the forum under "Driveline & Suspension". Good Luck

In my experience the camelback is the best for off road. it has a lot more travel up or down which lets the wheels stay with better ground contact than air ride will.

sorry to here of your fathers passing. it all depends on what type of work u are doing with your truck. camelback susp. is the best type for off road wet and dry work. if you are on road all the time air ride is alot smoother for you and the truck. if the truck is set up correctly for air ride the air will let out much faster allowing each axle to contact the ground faster,giving more traction. you will not have the same weight per duals as you will with camel back. my DM690 mack will push mud with the front axle and drag the rears in wet ground. (i still do get stuck now and then ) in air ride you couldnt even get that far

good luck ( Don) GreenGiant 2
