Lippert Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade - Tandem Axle
Shipped and received as ordered and describe. Only missing 1 lock nut for bolt that went on left side to frame. Installed myself and took about 3 hrs to complete installation and run air lines and gauge. Only thing there was no installation instructions for torquing nuts. Will see how it handles Wednesday 5/30/24 on getaway trip to see Micky and Minnie. My fifth wheel is 44 ft long Forrest Glen Wildwood Heritage Glen Elite 16,000 lbs. Note: Had to modify the piece that slides up into frame mine had a reinforced piece welded inside on frame had to notch each side to slide another 1/4 “ up for blot to go though hole.
Installed slippers Center Point system on out Alpine 3101RL 5ver. The install is straight foreward if your mechanically inclined. Now about the lack of instructions, nothing shipped from Lippert. etrailer provided a link to help with that. I do prefer printed instructions opposed having to scroll through my phone with dirty hands. The torque specs provided by Lippert don't align with normal torque charts for said fasteners. The banana shackles are very thin and unplated,they are just raw steel. For the cost of the suspension Lippert cound do better on the shackles in this kit. Lippert recommends in stalling the air gauge for the air bags outside,however to gauge is a cheap plastic model. I feel it would have a short life span exposed to the elements. The good now, it seems robust and likly to help absorb road shock. I have not had our 5ver on the road yet. But I will leave more feed back when I have. I purchased this suspension system after finding a broken main leaf on our front tandem. I replaced all of our leaf springs bushings and bolts with the wet bolts Supplied in the kit. FYI Lippert neverfail bushings fail in less than 7k miles. We are not over weight.

Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers - Double Eye Springs - Tandem Axle - 6K to 8K
Have only put about 3500 miles on these replacement equalizers but they appear to be getting the job done. I'm a little surprised at how much the rubber bushing portion is already compressed but will see long term. The order from etrailer was handled correctly and timely. Happy with the company.
product shown has new top pins which were not included, also the packaging was 1/3 destroyed. My old pins do not have grease fittings, so no way to grease the Equa-Flex devices.

Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizer Kit - Tandem Axle - Qty 2
Install video and instructions say use the same length shackles as the stock ones. That did not work out for me with 2.25” shackles. I Used the 3 1/8” shackles to be able to install with road armor equalizer on a rogue armored toy hauler with tandem axle 7000lb. Stock equalizer was 7.8” from hole to hole. The road armor is 6”. So I tried the 2.25” shackles and was unsuccessful but the 3 1/8” seemed to work well. My wheel base center of tire to center of tire was 37” and after install was 36”.
Last year 3500 miles and now finishing cross country road trip considering road conditions trailer is holding up great thanks for great product

Lippert Bolt-On Shock Kit w/ Heavy Duty Gas Shocks - 5,200-lb to 7,000-lb (3") Overslung Axle
1) No instructions included. You’ll have to print off the PDF found on the e-trailer website for this product. 2) The U-bolts supplied are too long for a Grand Design 2150RB with a 3” axle. I’m going to need to purchase replacement, shorter u-bolts. 3) Then diagram of measuring the shock don’t match reality and I’ll need some guidance on that. Getting & ordering the product through Trevor was quick, easy and delivered on-time.
Went on great no problems, Etrailer is great people to work with fast shipping , will order from them in the future
