just stay away from hendrickson air front ends.. I have one and it rides real nice, but is a nightmare to maintain.

What about it is hard to maintain? Just curious, ive seen a handfull of them on the used truck market.

Rawze's truck has a very odd suspension setup even the front axle is completely different I think, think of a rear axle trailarm suspension in a souped-up muscle car opposed to a typical leaf spring suspension with airbags on it were all use to. Many more bushings that are prone to failure and very unstable handling at times.

So the same as a solid front axle 4x4 pickup?
