Volvo, set back axle. yea but not to bad, he had every thing new and he 76. he been good ta me so I don't mind.

Thats good. Last one I did was on a 2000 IH paystar 5000 SBA with an 18,000lb front. That spring was heavy took 2 of us to get it set. dang torque rod and steering box right in the way. Didnt help that the spring was so heavy and 6 inches thick.

Yep KW's and Petes ... easy to work on for the most part.. rear suspensions can be a twit but what ones arent though.. I'd rather put in an airbag than change out the rubber blocks in a hendrickson though...or pin and bush a hendrickson.. that totally SUCKS
