F350 and a 2024 Alliance Paradigm 310RL. Has a rhino pinbox. Was think about a Gen Y, but now I am trying to decide between the two.

@TerryG it really comes down to whether you want the additional cushioning of the Gen Y or the simplicity and reputation of the B&W system.

@JamesD Is there more cushioning with a Gen-Y? I though with the sumo spring and both vertical and horizontal cushioning of this new model, it had very similar cushioning?

@TerryG you're correct my friend! The B&W does have SumoSpring and dual axis cushioning system to absorb both vertical and fore-aft movement. Gen Y's torsion flex, generally provides more suspension travel and a softer ride than rubber spring systems. I think both improve ride quality a ton, just providing what we know so you can make the best decision for yourself.
