Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame, a first mounting bracket, and a sway bar assembly. The frame includes a first member including a first opening and a second member including a second opening. The first mounting bracket is disposed proximal the first member and includes a first panel and a second panel. The first panel is substantially parallel to a surface of the first member and defines a bar opening that is substantially aligned with the first opening. The second panel extends substantially perpendicular to the first panel and includes an aperture that is substantially aligned with the bar opening. The sway bar assembly includes a bar having a first end and a second end. The bar extends through the first opening and the second opening and is rotatably coupled to the first mounting bracket.

Abstract: Systems and apparatuses include a tag axle system including an axle assembly, a linkage coupling the axle assembly to a vehicle chassis, and a hydraulic cylinder coupled between the vehicle chassis and the axle assembly. The hydraulic cylinder actuates the axle assembly between a raised position and a lowered position, and acts as a spring damper suspension component.

Abstract: Systems and apparatuses include a chassis mount configured to couple to a vehicle chassis, an axle assembly including wheels, a four-bar linkage coupling the axle assembly to the chassis mount, and a hydraulic cylinder coupled between the chassis mount and the axle assembly. The hydraulic cylinder actuates the axle assembly between a raised position and a lowered position and acts as a spring damper suspension component.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame, first and second mounting brackets, and a suspension system. The frame includes a first member and a second member. Each of the first and second member have an opening. A bracket is disposed proximal each of the first and second member. The suspension system includes first and second swing arms coupled to the first and second members, and a bar extending through the first and second openings that is rotatably coupled to the first and second mounting brackets with a first bushing and a second bushing. The ends of the bar extend outward of the first and second frame members. The ends are coupled to bending portions that extend from the ends towards the first and second swing arms, which are further coupled to links that connect the bending portions to the swing arms.
