Video Transcript for Review of Pacbrake Vehicle Suspension - Alpha XD Rear Axle Double Convoluted Air Bag Kit - PB34MV

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this Pacbrake Alpha X Rear Axle Double Convoluted Airbag Suspension Kit. Now this kit has been designed to fit your 2017 and newer Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty, both two and four-wheel drive models. And just a few other things I wanna mention. This is not gonna fit cabin chassis models and this is not gonna fit dual rear wheel models without lift blocks just so you're aware of that.

On custom fit parts such as this kit, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Just input the year, make and model of your vehicle and our pick item will confirm if this kit will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. So, as you know, when the load gets heavy, your truck is going to need more than just those factory rear leaf springs hanging on for dear life. These airbags are gonna add up to 7,500 pounds of rear axle support, keeping your truck level and steady even when your trailer is loaded or your bed is packed, and the miles are long. So, no more rear end sag throwing off your braking and steering or your headlights pointing up into the sky.

But every haul is different. That's why these air springs give you full control over the ride height and firmness with adjustable pressure from 5 to 100 PSI. And if you're, for instance, hauling a fifth wheel or a full bed of gravel, you can crank up the pressure. And then, when you're unloaded and heading home, you can drop that pressure back down for a softer ride. So, with these manual inflation valves, you're gonna be able to tune your suspension for the day's work very easily.

And extreme hauling does demand extreme durability. These springs are built with one-inch thick corrosion-resistant end caps that you can't see because they do kinda have them put together here. But not only with the end caps, but they also have, they're also reinforced with 20 internal support wires for a maximum strength under that load. These also feature heavy duty roll plates on either end. They're gonna protect those bags from chafing and help extend their lifespan.

And then, these powder coated custom fit steel brackets are gonna fight back against rust and corrosion, road salt and rough seasons. So, whether it's bitter or cold or scorching heat or mud slick job sites, this system is made to outlast whatever the road throws at it, mile after mile and load after load. These precision laser cut brackets are designed to bolt cleanly to your truck's existing mounting points without welding or drilling. Now, I don't have it on my table here, but I do wanna throw up a picture on your screen showing you all the hardware that's included. So, this is all the hardware that's gonna be included with this kit to help you get these installed into place. So, you're basically gonna have everything that you need, and I just kinda have the bags here put together with just the brackets and the roll plates themselves. Again, just to kind of give you an idea of what everything's gonna look like underneath your vehicle. So, this kit's designed to work with your system today and wherever your upgrades take you down the road. Again, you're gonna be able to inflate these bags with the standard air valves right out of the box. No extra parts are gonna be needed. But if you already have an onboard compressor, that's great. This is gonna connect easily to most existing setups. And then, maybe you're thinking about getting an in-cab wireless controller sometime down the road. That's no problem with this because with this system, you're gonna be laying the foundation so you can easily upgrade and add things to it. So, if you're thinking about doing upgrades later on, this system is going to work with you. Now, I mentioned this does give you up to 7,500 pounds of additional load leveling support. But be aware of the fact that these do not actually increase your truck's weight carrying capacity. So, you wanna make sure that you're not exceeding your manufacturer's recommended weight limit. If you do pick this kit up, we wanna hear back from you regarding your experience with getting these installed and using them. So, you can share your experiences with us by dropping the comment or leaving a review on this product page. And if you have any other additional questions that I did not address during our time together today, don't hesitate to give us a call. We wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you need. Well, that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
