The invention relates to an axle/suspension system that includes a composite beam and separately pultruded axle connection and bushing end brackets. The composite beam has an internal support with vertical stitching to minimize delamination, which is lightweight and maintains rigidity of the beam while still maintaining flexibility. The beam includes a pair of ends. The axle connection bracket is connected to one end of the beam and captures the axle. The bushing end bracket is connected to the other end of the beam and is connected to a hanger of the heavy-duty vehicle.
