    Regarding the return filter. It is what you plug in after the filter that creates the pressure. The filter must be placed last in the chain before the oil tank.

    Fuel is Ballast. Forward tanks will increase your front axle weight. The tanks you got are cool and look good but in reality suck but will help some with more fuel in the tanks. Grab the axle of the truck. You bought a DTU for a reason fork a Volvo on the springs below the rear bags or from the Ubolts. Zacklift has built in Ubolt adapters on the receiver. It’s a air ride tractor you’re towing you only would need to chain one side of the front axle up.

    The U bolts for the header - would look far better the opposite way with the bolts and lock plates at the bottom.
    The deck plate - spacers would have been far better, cutting it like that is a bodge, there are do many ways you could have spaced that to overcome the frame plate. 🫣

    Imaging having that Scania doing the towing. The agility of it on a site like this one. Would drive circles around 'em both! About the return side... better check there ain't no blockage or some other stuff that allows for the pressure to get too high. As you said it: there shouldn't be so much pressure. It either generates way too much pressure or it hasn't got a good way out. (or honestly it really could have been just horrible luck with faulty seal, but for some reason I have difficulties believing that).
