Mike,

I'M not sure about COEs, but most KW suspensions incorporate a steel girdle that connects the tandems together. You can't convert them to single axle. There are a lot of single axle COEs from the factory sitting around for sale though. You could buy one cheap and install an air ride hitch. I have no experience with air ride front axles so I can't comment on them.

IM sure COEs ride better than they used to assuming they are all air ride. On the downside, you are the first to arrive in case of an accident. They go down the road like a brick, burning fuel. They are hard to climb in and out of. Women don't like that. They have no resale value. Every time the engine is serviced, everything in the cab has to be secured.

On the plus side, they will take you up and down the mountains safely. You can always buy a step ladder for the wife. ;-) I would take one in a New York second if it was that or an MDT.
