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 |

Do you have this...

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. |
