    I tried to do just that a long time ago. I'm not sure if Epicfacecanada himself ever integrated them into the mod, and even then the 500L right fuel tank tends to kick itself straight off the frame.

    prolly so cuz i'm 99% sure i can't be the ONLY one who wanted an 8-ft flatbed other than a metal box like on the "farmhand" config :)

    Can we get aero sleeper size twinsteer frames back? I miss my silly twinsteer long hauler :,(
    Also non-airbag tridem options would be cool.

    And a silly new content idea too: walking beam double-tandem (4) rear axles ((for medium & long uplift frames))

    a Leaf spring Tridem or a Walking Beam Tridem suspension does exists in real life as I've seen them in real life but only with the Japanese & Korean Trucks like the Isuzu, Hino, Mitsubishi, Hyundai or Nissan. I'm not so sure if there's existing ones for the American Semi's

    Walking beam tridem sounds fun

    Twinsteer Aero cabs will make an return(likely next update.)

    Leaf spring tridem rear suspension has been suggested before but AFAIK it doesn't exist outside of trailer axles so I won't be adding it.

    Quad-drive rear suspension has also been suggested and declined for being too much work.

    That doesn't mean it CAN'T exist. It'd be neat to not have to use airbag tridem whenever we want 3 rear axles, the self-leveling mechanics get a bit jank there.

    I guess you could just copy-paste a set of axles to get that fourth one.

    So I stand corrected about it not existing IRL. Though that looks like a lot of custom work to get that suspension geo to work right. With that this suggestion has gone from "absolutely not" to "maybe, possibly in the future".

    It'll be worth it, trust us.

    Also, I think the front lift axles should be brought back for the single axles. As in, having the lift axle in front of the drive axle instead of in the back. I tried doing it myself several times, but the lift axle always slides along the frame and I don't know how to "bolt" it in place.

    I mean it does exist in real life, if I'm not mistaken, Tridem Leafsprings are a thing in Jamaican US Trucks, and in Australia we all know the airbag ones are common but a tridem leaf spring type exists, the tridem walking beam does exists too but I can't find a picture of it for now.

    I have a problem,the T60 front frame is not suitable with some of your engines,when I install them,the truck didn't move and I was unable to use nitrous system to solve the problem.

    Also,why the truck accelerates too slowly or the max speed is not fast enough?Can you give me some suggestion to let my truck's max speed increased and reduce the accelerating time?

    I'm not really sure what you mean by suitable. If some engines aren't running keep in mind that the V8 and V12 engines are powered using gasoline rather than diesel and need different fuel tanks.
    If your struggling to get off the line with the gas V8 given it's lower torque try running the "2:1 Reduction gear" in the transfer case slot. Also I'd recommend running a manual transmission with the V8 as the Automatic shift points don't always work perfect with the higher revs.

    If your complaining about the T60 trucks being slow that is the trade-off with them. They are shorter and lighter because they run smaller engines which can't make as much power as the regular T-series.

    And that's why I stick to TV80.

    I encountered the following error while playing RLS Career Overhaul. It occurred during the purchase of parts for the cabin. Despite pausing the simulation, I was able to remove the cabin and re-purchase its equipment. The error appeared again when I bought the 'Low Air Wig Wag.' Below is the error message from the console:

    If I may throw in another suggestion: can we get lifted suspension options? Lifted springs for front axles and rear walking beams would be cool.

    Also, I know its probably still never being made, but, idea to make quad drive: copy/paste walking beam tandem + tie them together with a transaxle. No lift axle options. And because its just 2 walking beam tandems, it could get lifted ride height options if lifted suspensions are ever implemented. Again I know nothing about mod making, just a lowly gamer who's a lil 'tistic for big trucks.

    i believe he'd still have to work on it frames-wise, but i know extremely little at best about modding so not sure about quad-dem suspensions

    EFC, if u see this, could we also get front airbags on all front susp.'s?

    Not sure why would we want that. Airbag front suspension is technically possible, but it's not really that useful considering the majority of the weight is on, you know, the back.
