    Shocked to find them shock absorbers trying to get away...

    Hello all, I am adding this installment due to a discovery I made after driving several thousand miles on this round-the-country trip so far. Apparently, the assembly plant didn't tighten the nuts on these shocks as the below photos show one of my shocks loose and completely missing the lower...

    Airbag Suspension kit for leveling side to side?

    Has anyone ever heard of installing an Airbag suspension kit between the leaf springs/axle and frame to level the 5th wheel side to side? It seems to me that one could just leave the bags near empty while towing and the once parked, simply inflate the low side to level the coach side to side...

    Center Point Suspension System- Shocks or No Shocks

    Hi, Just a little note here. I just had the Center Point Suspension installed by a Lippert technician, and just last week he fixed an air leak in one of the connections to the air bags. He told me Lippert does not recommend shocks to be installed with this system, even though the Trail Air...

    Lippert Warranty Doesn't Care about safety!

    Last summer I had a serious leaf spring breakage in Oregon. Lippert replaced them with 3 leaf springs, the same kind that broke, and I only lost 2 days on the road. Unfortunately, Lippert only reimbursed me $65 for a brand new Goodyear 614 $315 dollar tire, and told me they don't warranty...

    Stiff suspension Towing Rig

    I am in a quandry so I will turn to any of you that may have an answer to this question, about soft but firm suspension in my tow truck.

    The Lippert rep did a great job of installing the Center Point and 8K axles on our Augusta. We are running about 10 psig higher on the off curb side to make the trailer run level on level ground. Rides great and stops better. With the brake controller on 10 you can lock up the trailer wheels. We...

    Lippert completed this upgrade on our Augusta. Excellent work and we are extremely happy with the ride and braking with the larger brakes. We also have air bags on the TV and a Fifth AirBorne pin. Best overall towing experience of all the larger trailers we own and have owned. Certainly money...

    Trailair equaflex suspension

    Tonight I heard that Trailair makes a "wet kit" for the equaflex suspension so it can greased etc. Our Landmark came with this suspension system but could the factory advise if it would have had the "wet kit" on it, which may have been an extra option?
