Video Transcript for Review of Pacbrake Vehicle Suspension - Alpha HD Pro Rear Axle Air Bag Kit Jounce Bumpers - PB66RV

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this Pacbrake Alpha HD Pro rear axle, double convoluted airbag suspension kit with internal jounce bumpers. Now this kit has been designed to fit your 2013 and newer Ford Transit 350 HD, both the two-wheel and four-wheel drive models, Class C motor homes, and this kit is only for those two-wheel and four-wheel-drive models that are the dual rear wheel cargo vans. So I have that information there for you on your screen, hopefully that makes sense. This will not fit passenger vans, the XL or the XLT models or those with all wheel drive.

So all that to say, with all that information there on my screen there, on your screen, it's vital that you go through our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Input the year, make and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if this kit will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now, as you no doubt know, factory suspension can struggle under real world load. So if you're delivering cargo, if you're towing a trailer or building out a full van conversion, you'll know that that's the case. Now these airbags are going to add up to 5,000 pounds of rear support, helping to keep your vehicle level and composed when the weight adds up.

So no more dragging rear end, sloppy cornering or headlight glare that's going to blind oncoming traffic. Just a stronger stance, more predictable handling and peace of mind behind the wheel. Now, bottoming out doesn't just feel rough, it can actually wreck your bags. That's why this system includes internal jounce bumpers inside of each bag. So even with no air pressure, your suspension has a built-in safety net so you can safely run zero PSI when unloaded, which means no harsh rebound, just has smooth factory style ride.

Now a cargo run doesn't ride the same as a weekend trip and your suspension should reflect that. With air pressure adjustability from five to 100 PSI, you're gonna be able to fine tune the support based on how much gear you're hauling. You can drop the pressure when you're running light for a smoother ride or pump it up when the van's packed full. So manual inflation valves that you can see here are included to keep it effective and it is gonna be very easy to manage on your own terms. So from long haul deliveries to off-grid trails, your van sees more than perfect pavement and this system is built for that.

These airbags are reinforced all the way through with heavy-duty end caps, 20 internal support wires. We talked about the integrated jounce bumpers and then these powder coated steel brackets. And then I don't have all of the hardware laid out here, but I do have a photo there for you on your screen, giving you a nice view of everything that's going to be included. So the hardware's also going to be corrosion resistant, got those thick roll plates at the top and bottom of those airbags. So you've got everything here that is going to be able, with this kit, to put up with anything that you throw at it, whether it's bad weather or rough road conditions. So these precision cut, precision laser cut custom fit brackets are designable cleanly to the factory mounting points of your vehicle with limited drilling required, just smart engineering that's going to fit the way it should, which is gonna be perfect for the DIYer. Again, the manual inflation valves here are going to with the air line run through the license plate fastener holes or a location of your choosing that may require some drilling, depending on where you put it. And then with the high quality fittings and the mounting hardware, you're gonna be back on the road with a stronger, steadier van in just no time at all. Now another thing is this kit is designed to work with your setup today, right out of the box or wherever your upgrades take you tomorrow. So again, you're gonna be able to inflate manually with the standard air valves right out of the box, no extra parts needed. But hey, if you already have an onboard compressor, that's great because these are gonna connect easily to most existing setups. Or maybe you're planning for an in-cab wireless controller sometime down the road; that's not gonna be an issue either, because with this kit, you're laying the foundation for upgrades that you're planning for in the future. So this'll work with virtually any type of upgrades that you're planning of either now or in the future. Now, I mentioned that these are gonna give you up to 5,000 pounds of of leveling support, but I do wanna make sure that you're aware of the fact that these do not actually increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity. So you wanna make sure that you're not exceeding your manufacturer's recommended weight limit.
