Hey guys I’m looking to upgrade my 94 t800h dump truck to a better ride and full lockers and a bit lower gear From my 3:90s to 4:11. Currently have a 46k Hendrickson walking beam rte. what’s the easiest and best option to swap it with. I was thinking a neway air leaf or maybe a airliner. Trying to drill as little new holes as possible. Cutting the frame is not an option I will not do that. If any of you have done this I’d appreciate your input. Thanks
Walking beam to leaf air swap options

Airliner is simple but you will need to change out the crossmembers to match as well.
Hendrickson Primaax is kind of a Neway knock off, I'd go that route over Airliner. -
Up our way Peterbilt Air Trac is a popular dump truck rear suspension. Rides rough imo but stays in alignment for a long time and never seems to break the spring leaf.
