220cummins Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I'm looking at a full screw air ride cutoff for my cruisliner from an '01 CX600. It looks like it has a Maxlite 40. Does anyone have any info on these? I don't know anything about them. How are they? Right now the cruiseliner has a neway single axle under it and I love it but I would like a full screw. Ive driven a buddies Rmodel with neway tandems and mack rears and liked them a little better than his Rmodels with mack airride. thanks.

GearheadGrrrl Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Do you need the weight capacity of a tandem, or just want the looks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
220cummins Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Do you need the weight capacity of a tandem, or just want the looks?I need the wheel base. I want to stretch it some for more clearance behind the cab. its really short. So ill stretch it and put a tandem under it's about the same amount of work... which i dont mind lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAD DOG Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Is the Maxlite 40 like the Hendrickson HAS #402 . I put an HAS #402 suspension from a 2000 CH 600 under my Superliner that I'm rebuilding. I know that it's alot lighter than the New way I took out, and has less bushings to wear out also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
220cummins Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 Here some pictures. I don't think its a maxlite 40? Im not real familiar with what kind ie manufacture or model they are? any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearheadGrrrl Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I need the wheel base. I want to stretch it some for more clearance behind the cab. its really short. You only need about 72 inches Cab After to allow enough swing clearance for a standard 36 inch kingpin setting trailer, unless you're going to slide the fifth wheel forward. Adding a tandem won't improve the ride, in fact it may make it worse. Same for braking- 4 brakes and almost no weight on them will lock up the rear wheels even worse than 2 brakes and almost no weight. So ill stretch it and put a tandem under it's about the same amount of work... which i dont mind lolNo point in butchering a truck unless you've got a damn good reason to do so.

220cummins Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 No point in butchering a truck unless you've got a damn good reason to do so.I have the fifth wheel almost off of the the rear of the truck and it barely gives me 72" now.... I'm not concerned about the work.. Im concerned if the above pictures are infact a mack air ride cutoff. I know theyre eatons rears i just want to know what suspension it is? Im only familiar with neway and a little familiar with older mack air rides.I'd like a full screw for a couple or reasons... Functionability, looks, and price are why I'm looking at this particular set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was low air leaf on a pete but had the Mack arch on the spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhasler Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 It's a MaxAir 40/40A, used only on CX and CH models with vendor axles. Quote "Mebbe I'm too ugly and stupid to give up!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
