Rear Air bag system on 4700

I have 12,500lbs. rear air bags on my 4700 which has been my puller for over 1 1/2 years.
I have just under 10,000lbs. with 5er on hitch on rear axel.
When solo just under 7,000lbs. on rear axel.

I was at a International dealer on July 5,06 and got a print out of my (line set ticket) which come with a new MDT. My air bags are 17,500lbs. are a little rough riding.

I had D-Square truck repair install his 2in. high brackets under my air bag bell on each side, then lowered my air bag on bell 1 1/2 in. to make a softer ride on rear axel.
The MDT rides much better solo and with 5er now with lower air bag system.
My Trail Air pin box takes care of the pin load very well with the 17,500lb air rear end, now with the lower air bag rear end it helps the air pin box with some of the work.
