I was referring to a post for Larry I saw a while back. Someone had found a used Volvo that had air ride and a single axle and asked Larry if it was a good deal. Along other comments, Larry said it probably had a 23,000# rear and that those ride very roughly. He didn't mention whether there was any way to soften it enough for a good ride. I have never driven an air ride single or tandem of any weight so I have no clue as to the ride. All the trucks I drove in my OTR days were non-air ride so any air ride truck will probably feel like a dream to me, especially if it also has an air ride cab.
