Video Transcript for Review of Pacbrake Vehicle Suspension - Alpha HD Rear Axle Double Convoluted Air Bag Kit - PB46RV

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this Pacbrake Alpha HD Rear Axle Double-Convoluted Airbag Suspension Kit. Now, this kit has been designed for your 2013 and newer Ford Transit 350HD, both the 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive models, the Class C motorhomes, and this kit is for the 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive dual rear-wheel cargo vans only. And this will not fit passenger vans, XL or XLT models, or those with all-wheel drive. So, all that to say, it is important that you use our Vehicle Fit Guide here at etrailer.com. Simply 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.

So, as I'm sure you know, your factory suspension can struggle under real-world loads. If you're delivering cargo, towing a trailer, or building out a full van conversion, these airbags are gonna 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 ends, sloppy cornering, or headlight glare that blinds oncoming traffic. Just a stronger stance, more predictable handling, and peace of mind when you're behind the wheel. 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 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 is packed full. The manual inflation valves are going to help keep it effective, and it's 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, and powder-coated steel brackets.

So, the hardware as well that I don't have laid out here on the table, but I got a nice layout there in a photo there showing you everything that's included. All the hardware is gonna be corrosion-resistant. You have thick roll plates at the top and the bottom of the bags, and basically, you have everything that you need in a system that's gonna hold up to real-world hauling through heat, cold, salt, and anything else you might throw at it. So, this is going to be relatively simple to install. Again, these precision, laser-cut, custom-fit brackets are designed to bolt cleanly to your factory mounting points with limited drilling.

Instructions are included to guide you through that installation process, and this kit is designed to work with your setup as it stands now, or wherever your upgrades may take you down the road. So, again, you're gonna be able to inflate manually 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 too 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, the foundation is already being laid, making it easy to expand your options when you're ready. Now, as I mentioned, this is going to give you up to 5,000 pounds of additional leveling support, but be aware of the fact that these are not going to actually increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity, so you wanna be sure that you're not exceeding your manufacturer's recommended weight limit. If you do pick this kit up, we would love to hear back from you. We wanna hear your experience with the installation and using this system, so you can share your experiences with us by dropping a comment or leaving a review on this product page. And if you have any other additional questions, don't hesitate to reach back out to us, whether it's by phone, email, or chat. Ultimately, we wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you want and need. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you.
