Kenworth 8 bag air ride pros and cons

Rides rougher than the 4 bag and does not drop anywhere near what a 4 bag does when you drop the suspension.

 

I've had 2 trucks with this suspention.
That should be ag100.
I found it to be one of the best riding suspentions I've had. It was also very low maintenance. It is also one of very few suspentions that has no torque rise. So it always keeps u joint angles in spec.
Only negative I've found is they don't handle very good. If your heavy and high over the fifth wheel it does have a tendency to lean in the corners.
Other then that not a bad suspention.

 

You might be talking about the ag400
They had smaller bags then the 100 and they rode chappy. The ag100 rides perty nice. I'm assuming this is what he has if his truck is a 95

 

Could be. We have 46k rears in our trucks and the 8 bag are #### near the same as the walking beams we have.

 

What year are your trucks?
I do know when they went away from the ag100 to the new style people really complained about the ride. It was terrrible.

 

Elephant ears? Do you mean the big bracket That hangs from the frame between the axles? My opinion is they are better than the steel ones. They don't tend to Crack like the steel ones do. What kind of tortion bars? Round ones are ag100, wish bone is ag200, flat bar is ag400.

 

95 should be the 100. The lower bushings don't last very long . And need to be replaced often.

Other than that issue I liked it had a 96 kw with it....
