The high end stretch coach converters use 16k front suspensions, research shows that the larger than 12k front axles all use the same main beam part number, 16,18,20k, the spindles and bearings are probably all the same for these axles also. the brakes,hubs, wheel offset and tires are capacity related and of course the spring packs will be different.
I'm thinking that an upgraded 18 or 20k axle mounted to airide would give the necessary capacity and adjustability for increased weight without compromising the ride and ride height
Question is, is their a way to legitimatly change the build spec sheet to reflect the change, upfitters regularlt change the titles to reflect their finished products, ie; tanker,box van,reefer,motorhome semi etc.
