6*2 taglift sink thru ground when raise [FIXED]

When you have trailer attached and lift tag axle 2 rear axles sink trough ground and you get almost stuck.

I used michelin tires:
Front:385/55
Drive/middle:315/80
Tag/last:315/70

Can confirm. Mercedes-Benz New Actros 6×2 taglift.

Taglift axle lowered:

Taglift axle raised:

If you drive in this state, every time there's change of road map segment, truck will bounce and lose control.

Well two things:

1) You aren't really supposed to drive the truck like that anyway when there's weight on the back. . . (Unless the trailer is empty)
2) The behavior with the truck losing control like that is mostly because the game doesn't increase spring/ ride height on the drive axles that don't lift, so it's essentially low-hanging weight on the back of the truck, which will pull the front axle off the ground.

Technically, both issues could be fixed if my second point was addressed somehow, because in Scandinavian countries, its normal to lift to the tag in snowy/icey conditions to get more traction, but if you look at the behavior of a truck when it lifts an axle, you'd also see it would put more pressure on the drive axle (inflate air bags?) and raise the ride height of the rear of the truck, where the game doesn't and all the weight and overhang causes the truck to sag.

The "correct" behaviour you are talking about was in the game in previous versions. Now wheels are clipping through the ground. You think it's not a problem?

I know, I know. Modded game! But everything was ok in 1.26. Cargo with 3 ton, so I think does not matter the weight.

Ohh, looking back in the thread again I see the problem now, instead of the previous behavior before with lift axles, the non-lifted axles are sinking into the ground as if they suddenly got heavier.
