[Fulltiming]

All 2001 Newells have independent front suspension, a drive axle and a tag axle. There was only one Newell built in the 2001 model year that was less than 45' (#595 was 42'). Newell recommends a maximum cruising speed for 65 mph if you stay with the 315 front tires and 75 mph if you change to 365's on the front for all their coaches with slides. I believe as of 2000 and 2001, Newell had a GAWR of 18,000 lbs on the front, 25,000 lbs on the drive and 12,000 lbs on the tag with a GVWR of 55,000 lbs. Typically, Newells front axle GAWR's were limited by the tires and wheels so upgrading the the wider wheels and 365 tires resulting in an increase to the front GAWR. There should not be any wheel hub or fender modification necessary on a 2001 model to accommodate the 365/70R22.5 tires.
