X-Rookies Still Luving it
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 Center Point Suspension installation manual, recommends them. This is a quote from the installation guide straight from trailair.com : Trailair strongly recommends the use of shock absorbers in conjunction with Center Point but they are not required. Trailair does not supply shock absorbers because Center Point is not designed structurally to handle shock absorber mountings. If the coach is not equipped with shock absorbers, please refer to the trailer manufacturer for information on shock absorbers and/or the mountings available for the particular trailer.
So Trail Air (owned by Lippert) recommend shocks on one hand and then tell you that CP isn't designed structurally to support the mountings. Hello? This is the link to CP installation manual:

I think Lippert management should talk to Trail Air and decide who is correct, shocks or no shocks, that is the question? It appears that whoever installs this suspension system does it their own way. Dragoon had supported mountings as well as OEM shocks installed from Standen in Calgary, which is a huge RV operation. Any comments?
