    These are already double overdrive allisons. Which is equal to an RTOO14613. They will run 111 in their stock form with the governor turned to 2450. They don't need a $5000 18 speed.

    Only issue with the air ride swap and using axles from one is the gear ratios.. most are 3.55s to 3.90s. The 915a4s use the same axles as the 915A0. A 4.44 so it would lose some of its low end grunt. Top speed would increase about 17mph

    It's been done that's why it can hit 95 other than the 61 it maxes out in direct 5th. It's basically a 915a1 without the unlock
