Today we're going to take a look at the Lippert Components Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension upgrade for triple axle suspensions. Now more than 85% of all the semi tractors that are out on the road today, they do have some kind of air- ride suspension like this. So you should think that maybe your towable RV should have that same kind of suspension or ride, and the answer is yes because you can now do it affordably using this system here.This is a center point air-ride suspension system. This will add the air-ride suspension to any RV or horse trailer. It will dramatically improve the ride and towing experience with the four airbag units that'll absorb road shock and reduce four and a half trailer movement known as chucking. These dual airbags' absorption replaces your standard trailer suspension.
This one here is designed for a triple axle trailer configuration.It does improve your ride, dampens the road shock, and will even improve braking in case of emergency stop. Now to install this, you must have a double-eye spring suspension on your trailer or RV. This part does include everything laid out here on the table. It includes two of the left hand, two of the right hand side center point sub-assemblies, 16 of the shackles, 16 of the bronze bushings, 36 of the shoulder bolts, 36 of the flange nuts, two of the clamp brackets, two of the link arms, four plates right here, and then they also give you two air gauge panels, these kits here that'll show how much PSI is in your bags, and also all the hardware. Now these panels do have a gauge in these boxes here that will attach here, and then it also gives you two rolls of 24 feet, each roll of airline tubing to hook up.Now also the easiest way to determine the proper air pressure for these air springs is you want to inflate them until these plates right here on the side are parallel, or if there's about five inches of space between them.
That'll give you a good idea of what to inflate them to. And they basically estimate about five PSI per 1,000 pounds of trailer weight.But that should do it for the review. On the Lippert Components Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension upgrade for triple axle suspensions.
Average Customer Rating: 3.0 out of 5 stars (1 Customer Reviews)
The reason for the average rating is the shipping of the parts. E-trailer needs to change how these heavy parts are shipped. A cardboard box doesn't work. You can not depend on UPS or FEDEX to handle shipments with care. They think "Fragile" is a french word for throw and if the box is heavy it will get abused for sure. E-trailer was helpful with getting my parts that were missing from the busted up boxes but it was slow moving.
Now as for the parts, ( Not E-trailers fault)The ones that were laser cut needed work so we could get the shoulder bolts through the holes. One of the brackets was welded crooked.I am fortunate since I have a laser and deal with this everyday.
I also drew and cut my own gauge plate so I could mount both gauges to one plate. I appreciate all that were involved just hope you make changes to how these parts are shipped. I would recommend wooden crates and LTL shipping.
Tested the bags overnight and no leaks. Cant wait to see how my fifth wheelpulls and I hope I dont have screws and trim falling off my walls any longer!!! Ha HA
