The Prevost use a very LARGE spring to physically lift the tag off of the ground. The Newell doesn't do that. However, as others have pointed out, dumping the air out of the tag will a) decrease turning radius and b) reduce the wear and tear on the tag axle and tag tires.

The 3 position switch includes normal, dump and add air to try to get the drive axle under 20K.
