I wonder how well the suspension holds the weight?

It looks like the rear axles have pump-up shocks. That would help a bit,
especially when towing.

Both the front and rear have air suspension.  If those pumps are hooked up to an
air tank, you could create a really interesting suspension system.

I also really like the way the rear wheels use three control arms on the 8466's
suspension.  Nice way to increase thier strength.

A very well constructed truck, most impressive.
