13.5K Steerable Lift Axles

Self-Steer 13.5 K Lift Axle

The Link 13.5K Auxiliary Suspension is a lightweight, 13,500 pound capacity, self-steering lift axle that incorporates several unique features. The patented, interchangeable ride height brackets allow the installer to manage inventory dollars and still have a lift axle available for almost any truck. The improved lift spring geometry of the Link 13.5K Auxiliary Suspension assures longer life of the lift springs and less downtime for the owner. The compact mounting envelope (22”) combined with the integrated air control system (optional) saves valuable frame rail space. The separate ride height brackets and pre-plumbed integrated air control kit can save up to 3-5 hours of installation time.

The Link 13.5K is a 13.5 K capacity liftable suspension constructed of high strength steel and cast aluminum components. It's one of the lightest, self-steering, liftable suspensions with standard wheel ends on the market today.

The Link 13.5K is over 10% lighter, utilizing strong lightweight components in non-critical load-bearing areas, including cast aluminum actuator components; a high-strength aluminum cross-member; and a tubular steel axle with cast steel ends. The Link 13.5K provides the opportunity to increase payload, trip after trip.

The new lift actuators utilize a more compact and lightweight rolling sleeve design in conjunction with zero wind-up bushings. These actuators operate in-line (parallel), increasing reliability and durability of the lift system, as well as providing increased driveline clearance.

The Link 13.5K has a patented feature not found on any other competitor's liftable suspension... interchangeable and adjustable frame brackets.

The Link 13.5K also offers an optional factory installed integrated air system. This pre-plumbed unit significantly reduces installation time.
