Ridewell unveils new air-ride single point suspension
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Ridewell Suspensions has released the first model of its air-ride single point suspensions in the new RAR-254.
The Ridewell Air-Ride Single Point Suspension leverages proven components of the popular model RAR-266 suspension to provide the smoothness of an air-ride suspension with the advantages of a single point, pedestal mount suspension.
It is available in ride heights as low as 10”. The suspension is designed for integration with Ridewell drum and disc brake axles. As an option, the suspension can be shipped fully assembled with pre-aligned axles and pivot hardware torqued to specification. As well, to reduce maintenance, the RAR-254 uses a high-density urethane bushing for the trunnion assembly center bushing instead of trunnion U-bolts.
Narrow and wide bushing versions of the RAR-254 are available.

I am a retired Mechanical Engineer, I after several years of R&D developed and eventually designed an Engine that can replace the Diesel Engine, I obtained a World patent after constructing a proof of concept engine that produced even more torque than the equivalent size Diesel Engine. The engine was originally designed in order to reduce the huge amount of Crude Oil being imported in order to be refined to power the Diesel Engine.
I originally thought of the idea way back in the nineteen seventies when the fuel crises first hit the World, but of course that ended and life got back to normal, so when the emissions problem eared its ugly head I decided to look again into what I had developed all those years ago, especially when Global Warming was causing so many problems in the World. Hard to believe but this engine has the capability of reducing harmful emissions by up to 85% plus, I now have two patents one being a world patent,not easy to obtain I assure you.
