An air spring is mounted on the lower trailing rear portion of the spring and is also attached to the frame. A shock absorber is located between the rear axle and the air spring and is operatively connected between the frame and the rear axle. The lower trailing rear portion of the gooseneck spring extends inwardly under the frame. The gooseneck spring is formed with a downwardly and inwardly twisted portion between its center portion and its lower trailing rear portion.
