Maximum comfort, stability and control

The Mack MaxRide rear air suspension delivers premium comfort and stability through its advanced 4 or 8-air spring design, available only on the new Mack truck platform. This non-torque reactive suspension prevents frame lift during acceleration, providing higher GCW limits and exceptional ride quality for on-highway and heavy-duty applications.

83:64
MaxRide’s eight air springs with dual leveling valves constantly adjust for uneven terrain, maintaining a smooth, stable ride.
35:53
m RIDE-style upper V-stays use rubber bushings at all pivot points to eliminate side-to-side motion without needing lubrication.
62:80
Dual stabilizer bar assemblies provide torsional rigidity and improve handling comfort by controlling chassis movement near the fifth wheel.
55:63
A cast steel air spring mounting group surrounds each air bag, providing added protection and strength for demanding applications.
45:53
Rubber-cushioned bump stops allow limited operation up to 18 mph after air loss, giving drivers time to reach a safe location.
