Hmmm, I wonder what tag axle Rob is running. Is it a steerable tag? Is his bus a 41' or a 43'?

It's sketchy but my records show:

41' ending with CSN 10000201, two suspension hangers, shocks mounted outboard on both the drive and the tag,
43' ending with CSN 10001469, two suspension hangers, shocks mounted outboard on both axles,
41' starting with CSN 10000202 ending with 10052120, single combined drive/tag hanger, shocks inboard on the drive and outboard on the tag,
43' starting with CSN 10001470 ending with 10052809, single combined drive/tag hanger with steerable tag, shocks inboard on drive and tag,
43' starting with CSN 10062750, single combined drive/tag hanger with fixed tag, shocks mounted inboard on drive and outboard on tag

It's very interesting. I haven't identified an LXi tag axle setup, other than the steerable tag, that has the shocks mounted inboard of the frame rails.
David,

Rob's bus has a steerable tag axle.

David,

Rob's bus has a steerable tag axle. 43'
