    My first introduction to that suspension had me running from Colorado to South Dakota in February, and most of my experience was sitework applications, so I'd gotten accustomed to trucks that, even if they had air bags in the rear, they had heavier axles, plus vocational trucks with Chalmers, ##### Back, or Walking Beams... the all around air ride was a world of difference for me. Once I got adjusted to it, I liked it, but the time period before that really put more than one good scare on me.

    Referring to a comment earlier in this thread, all I can say is any time you can improve the ride on any type truck you are also prolonging the life of many many parts on the truck. From the comments maybe I should put in on my old KW.

    Somebody should have told the engineers of Mack suspensions that in years to come the term Camelback suspension would be offensive to some. Pick a different word would ya. I assume the hash mark (pound sign to us senior folks) in front of the word 'back' is the problem. Enlighten me please because I am thinking that is truly the proper term.

    Would any one happen to have a party number on the ag130? I asked my dealer about it and they were lost. Told me I could either get the vin to a truck that had it and they could look it up, or the could contact corporate and ask them for the list, but said it would cost $45 or something for them to go that route.

    I see it the other way around , with EU trucks I don't want more airbags since I spend a lot of time replacing it along with air valve etc.

    Anyone know how much that AG130 weighs? I've got those fiberglass springs and it's pretty light. Wouldn't want to give up too much weight.
