Kenworth 8 Bag Air Suspension

Kicking around a few ideas with the Snap Kenworths and was wondering what the weight rating of the 8 bag suspension would be or maybe a better question is what types of trucks would this not be appropriate for such as dump or mixer versions.

There are different versions with different ratings, the most common 8 bag setup (called Airglide in Kenworth speak) is rated at around 40,000 pounds but they make units capable of nearly 70,000 pounds. The snap kit most likely has the standard 40k setup which would work for a smaller dump truck but not for any of the mixers out there in kit form though you could scratch slightly smaller one if you wanted.

Thanks Brian, I thought it looked like a standard Airglide 100, a bit crude but what can you expect for a snap kit. I am going to break out the evergreen and see if I can improve it.
