Video Transcript for Review of Pacbrake Vehicle Suspension - Alpha HD Pro Rear Axle Air Bag Internal Jounce - PB72XV

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look together at this Pacbrake Alpha HD Pro, Rear Axle Birbag Suspension Kit with internal jounce bumpers. Now this kit has been designed to fit your 2020 to current Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra 2,500 or 3500, with either the two wheel or four wheel drive models. Now on custom fit parts such as this kit, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer. Just pop in the year, make and model of your vehicle and answer any other questions that it might have for you and our fit guide will confirm if this kit will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. So, heavy trailers, full beds, gear piled high, that all changes how your truck handles things.

Without the right support, you're gonna feel it immediately. Whether it's sagging in the rear, poor handling overall, or a ride that's going to get unpredictable very fast. This airbag system is going to put you in control with up to 5,000 pounds of load leveling support. These are gonna help reduce squat, it's gonna help improve steering response, and it's going to keep your truck stable when the weight stacks up. Now, bottoming out just doesn't feel rough, it can wreck your airbags.

That's why this system includes internal jounce bumpers. And as you can see there, I have a cutaway there on your screen showing you what that jounce bumper is going to look like inside of the bag. So even with no air pressure, your suspension has a built-in safety net. You're gonna be able to safely run at zero PSI when unloaded, which means no harsh rebound, just that smooth factory-style ride. Now every hull is different, that's why Alpha HD Pro Air Springs that we have here, they're gonna give you full control over your ride height in firmness with adjustable air pressure from five to 100 PSI.

Hauling a fifth wheel or a full bed of gravel, you just have to crank up the pressure. If you're unloaded and heading home, just drop it back down for a softer ride. With the manual inflation valves included, tuning your suspension for the day's work is gonna be really straightforward. And these bags are reinforced all the way through with heavy duty end caps and 20 internal support wires. And along with the internal jounce bumpers, these are really built to last.

I have seen other airbags from other manufacturers and I've always been impressed with Pacbrake. They're high quality and I think they're a great product. We have these powder-coated steel brackets as well that are designed for your vehicle. Now I wanna mention that this kit does include two kinds of hardware. You're gonna get the original hardware that this typically comes with, but this also has an upgraded stainless steel hardware kit. And so that's going to give you stainless steel roll plates. and you see that stainless steel kit on the bottom. The first picture on top is just the normal hardware, but then that bottom picture is going to be the stainless steel hardware kit that's included with this. So you're gonna get stainless steel roll plates. Those are gonna help protect the bags along with the stainless steel shrader valves. So you can easily inflate or adjust the air pressure using a standard air source. And then the, the, the stainless steel components that are going to attach the brackets and the roll plates to the roll plates to the bag itself. So the roll plates here, as you can see are stainless steel. So these are premium components are good that are gonna be included with this kit. And stainless steel is a big upgrade because as you know, they're built to handle harsh conditions, resist rust and corrosion much better than the standard materials. These precision cut, precision laser cut brackets rather, they're designed to bolt cleanly to your truck's existing mounting points with minimal drilling, manual valves are meant to typically run through your license plate, fastener holes or a location of your choosing, which may require some drilling. But with the high quality fittings, the fitted brackets and all the, the premium mounting hardware, you're going to be back on the road in no time after getting this installed. So again, this is going to give you load leveling support up to 5,000 pounds, but I do wanna make you aware of the fact that this does not actually increase your truck's weight carrying capacity. So you wanna make sure that you're not exceeding your manufacturer's recommended weight limits. One final thing I wanted to mention, if you want help with installation and you're not real keen on doing the installation yourself on this product page, underneath the photo section, we have a link to our installer locator. If you click that link and answer the questions that it has for you, that locator will find an installer that etrailer has partnered with in your area to do the install for you. But if you happen to have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out. We wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you need. Well, again, my name's Andy, thank you for joining me.
