Ellen: Hey everyone. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and we're taking a quick look at the Replacement Shock for your Trailair Air Ride, and also your Flex Air Fifth Wheel King Pins. So if something happened with that original shock, it got damaged, bent, broken, what have you, this is a direct replacement part from the manufacturer.Now it used to be that there was a big sticker on here to let you know how much to inflate the airbag on that King Pin. There is still an indicator, but it's a bit harder to see, and I'll show you that in just a second. But I just want to point that out that this is still the direct replacement part, but it does have a different way of showing you where to fill up too.So you want to make sure that you inflate it to that line to make sure that everything is working properly. So it's just etched into the metal now.
So inflate to this line and then an arrow going up to this etched in spot. I am not a huge fan of this change. I mean, the nice thing about it is that it can't ever rub off or get damaged because it's etched into that metal, but it's really hard to see. So, might want to add like a paint marker or a little bit of paint to this, just to kind of fill in those lines and give you a clearer mark. That would maybe be something that I would do.
But overall, it's kind of up to you on what you want to do there.This does work for a lot of different fifth wheel pin boxes. To see the complete list of compatible part numbers, you can check out our website here at etrailer.com to make sure that this does work for you.But again, it works for your Trailair Air Ride models and also your Trailair Flex Air models, so it just helps to keep your airbag from breaking down, make sure that you keep everything at the right level and so on.So whenever it's at its compressed length, it's about 8-3/8" long and whenever it's all the way extended out, it's 11-5/8" long. So right now we have it all the way extended and that's going from the center of the attachment point, to the center of the attachment point at the top. So that's going to be our distance there. And again, when it's fully compressed, it is 8-3/8 inch.But that's pretty much all there is to it for our look at the Replacement Shock for your Air Ride or Flex Trailair King Pins.
I hope this has been helpful in deciding if this is the right replacement part for you. We do have a lot of other replacement parts available here at etrailer.com, along with a lot of other accessories for any of your towing needs. So check us out.Thanks for watching.

Replace the built-in shock on your Trailair Air Ride or Flex Air fifth-wheel pin box. Helps keep the air bag from breaking down.The visual appearance was not what I was expecting. The paint was very scuffed as shown in the pictures. It appears to have been in your inventory for a long time an potentially handled roughly. Hopefully it will be functionally fine.
Heather A - 02/15/2022Perfect replacement shock absorber for the Flexair hitch on our Redwood fifth wheel. We had a mishap that left the original with a bent case and it was difficult to set the pressure in the air bags as it would often stick. Simple to install and has my has my hitch back to proper operation. Ordering process was easy, part arrived on time in perfect condition.

I ordered replacement shocks for my trailair hitch. they arrived on the promised delivery date and were identical to the OEM shocks. The ride of the trailer improved, the old shocks were 10 years old.
Dale L - 07/19/2021The shock works great, but the arrow etched into it appears to be a different size than my original one and therefore inflates the bag way too much to even come close to the top of the arrow. I have since just put a new mark according to my original shock arrow and inflate to this new line
Great product fitment was perfect
Jamie - 04/22/2022Decal a little buggered up so I made my own out of reflective tape.
Great service, Replacement Part as original. Perfect fit Shock use on Lippert Trail Air Pin Box
Gary L - 03/11/2021Old one needed to be replaced. I like the replacement.
Glenn - 10/01/2021I chose Etrailer parts because they had a good selection of high quality replacement parts for my AirRide 5th wheel hitch (and everything else I need for my truck and trailers). My original equipment was very old, and I expected it to be impossible to find a replacement that fit, but George at Etrailer had them NEW. I installed the parts a year ago and I have been very happy. The quality is clear after a year of hard use--the parts still look and perform like new (better than the rest of the trailer!). The pictures show it ... the shock absorber and air bladder and steel yellow valve stem still in top shape with almost a thousand miles on them. So glad I have Etrailer a try!
Easy to replace, and made a huge difference on the comfort of the ride in my truck. Noticed that I needed a new one when it took extra air pressure in the air bag to raise the shock to the proper height. Wish I had noticed that earlier. Well worth replacing, and the service from etrailer has always been top notch. Got a B&W fifth wheel hitch earlier, and that is completely amazing!! Worth every penny!
I have not had a chance to install my new shock absorber. After I have installed it and tested it, i will write a better review. I was very happy with the order process and the delivery.
Len - 02/17/2021Great product
Needs to have the full pressure marking like the original shock has. Would make it much easier to know when you are getting the proper amount of air in the bladder.
I replaced the shock on my Flex Aire pin box that had been damaged due errant parking. It was a diprect replacement first all, two day shipment, simple, easy to install and I feel confident of the future performance. This a great set up too, smooth riding all the way.
Product arrived in just a few days. It was easy to install and only took 10 minutes. Great service from etrailer staff with help on finding the correct item for my Flex Air 328492 king ping.
Great customer service. We were camping and needed a shock for the pin box. Called etrailer ordered the part and it arrived at the campground on the day it was supposed to. I will continue to do business and will highly recommend etrailer. Thanks again!!!
Shipment arrived as promised fitment was as expected
Slow in delivery but we can blame COVID…everybody else does.
Awesome, worked perfectly
After receiving the replacement shock, I took it out of the package, got my socket set and installed in five minutes. Easy install. If I needed another, I would purchase this one.
The fit was perfect and it works great.
Marty G - 02/13/2021Part arrived on time and in great shape. Install was easy but would have been nice to have the torque settings.
Excellent dampening and stability, feels "like new" again.
Great help and good product. Fair prices. Thanks
William - 12/05/2018Perfect fit. Thanks for the fast delivery. Etrailers has great products and customer service is top notch.
