not sure about a "pad suspension" (rubber block?), but the only difference between the rt and rte is the spring pack (extended leaf on rte series), and an additional frame bracket

and you want to convert to this?

I have never seen a kit offered through Hendrickson. You may be able to get an aftermarket kit from a suspension shop. You would have to change the saddles and hangers in addition to adding springs. I would guestimate $2,000-3,000 in parts not including labor using Hendrickson components. Aftermarket parts from a suspension shop would save you alot of cash.
