We have a 2008 SN6400, well it was sold as a 2008 but it is on a 2007 chassis?? Anyways we looked into the ride issue as well. This is what we found: The Rear Axel is good for 17500lbs and the Rear suspension is good for 18500lbs with a 4500lb Auxillary Rubber Spring. Empty our 6400 weighs 15500lbs on the rear axel. EMPTY the unit is riding on the rubber auxilary spring, so the suspension is close to its max, now put some water and clothes etc in the unit behind the axel, not only is the suspension maxed out the axel is also maxed out. International brought this to my attention and advised me to get in touch with Gulfstream ASAP. International will not touch the unit as they are concerned about the Axel and how much weight is hanging behind the axel. We will see what happens. Something is wrong here.
