G'Day guys and hello from Australia. i have a 1999 CH Mack. Single drive short wheelbase that i'm going to use as a toy hauler. (meaning it will never go back to heavy work), instead pulling a 48 foot drop deck trailer around with very little weight in / on it at all.
I would dearly love to "soften" the front end ride. It has 3 parabolic springs on the front and Hendrickson air on the rear. The rear i can play with when i get her on the road. My thoughts are simply removing the the bottom leaf on the front end. The 2 upper leafs have the "wrap around" the shackles, so I'm not touching them.
Just wanting to know others thoughts because my beautiful little truck rides like an Australian Bush Pig. (Not good at all). I've seen others in the US of A especially on the long wheelbase Peterbilts remove 2 of the 3 parabolic leafs from the spring pack and install airbag. I wouldn't be adverse to this either. Just want some others thoughts?
Thanks
Greg
