SLEDOG Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 The previous owner of my granite cv713 had 385’s installed on the pusher axle. The tag on door calls for 425 tires. The reason was the bigger tires were dragging when off-road and causing problems like bending the stabilization shocks and also sometimes causing truck to get stuck . I think this causes airbags to extend beyond there workable length. Any thoughts.... thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68924-cv713-lift-axle-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 60 lbs. I was told many years ago run the pusher/tag axle air 1/2 of the truck running air pressure. Don't know it that is true or not, but I found it gives a good ride and no axle jumping on braking. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..
