Right from the start, my Wraith rode like a hay wagon. I discovered that - even though my weight is well below the GAWRs, the rear springs were sitting on the bump stops. There were NO REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS installed at all! A suspension expert told me the front springs are two long thick leafs with little arch in them. After replacing the front leafs with three lighter leafs with more arch, adding 2 leafs each side in the rear, and installing mounts and rear shocks at a cost of $3000 it now rides like a truck should.

My Ghost rides on rear air bags. It’s built on an International MV Chasis, what is the Wraith built on
