vanscottbuilders Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Does anyone have any experience with American Carrier Equipment's Superide air suspension cross member?The system uses the existing leaf springs and replaces the rear frame cross member in the single Mack B model.Looks pretty interesting. So I am looking for feedback.Thanks,Paul Van Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am looking for feedback.Thanks,Paul Van Scott I have seen that set up and seems like i installed one on a KW and now that i think about it i remember that i had to weld the brackets to the top leaf on the spring and i called the spring shop here in tulsa and he give me some rod to weld the bracket to the leaf and told me not to worry about it because the weld was not across the leaf. Noe that was back before air ride so any thing defferent was better than spring and the old man that we installed this on was windy anyway but he said that it helped for sure but that bag is not realy very big so i dont know. glenn Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy buzzard Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Paul,I built a system similar to what you are after for my B67. There are pictures somewhere around the house. Works great, simple to build and sure saves to old neck and guts. I'll start looking for pics but keep after me - I got old timers disease!! 740-742-2203Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Maney Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I recently came across a Superliner with it, it rode pretty good. A friend with a Chevy Titan wanted to put it on his tandem Chevy Titan. He has installed it and claims that it has imporved the ride considerably. He purchased a brand new arrangement from the mfr.There was a man around Ephrata, PA that was making something similar that was found on alot of Marmons sold by Dutchman's back when they were around. That is my 2 pennies.Doug Quote Interested in Old Trucks? Check out: www.antiquetruckclubofamerica.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
