A lumber wagon would be an improvement on my F-650!

Hey Guys,

I have new to me 2001 F-650. There isn't anything about this truck that I like, except the price. And its in too good of a shape to walk away from.

We load it up pretty good with a gooseneck float, and the ride is punishing.

Looking for recommendations on an air suspension conversion for medium duty trucks.

Thank You

I've never owned a kelderman set up myself, but I grew up somewhat close to their welding shop, and all the farmers that had their stuff were happy with it.

I checked that system out online. its an unusual setup.

I should step back a little bit. I wonder whether I should focus on the front or rear axle to improve operator comfort.
