I wondering if u could put a loader on a air ride truck   I have a 1995 8000 hood loader I can buy a T-800 KW with a 8 bag sup I wondering if that would work

I've got a Hood 7000 on my Peterbilt. It has 4 bag susp.  It has an air operated tag axle too. When it's loaded and the tag is up, it's squirrelly after I get over 35-40 mph. Once I put the tag down its as stable as can be and I can run highway speed with no problems.

A lot of log haulers used pickers  and self loading pole trailers here in the 70's. The big problem was weight, they lost too much payload.
