Video Transcript for Review of Pacbrake Vehicle Suspension - Alpha XD Pro Rear Axle Air Bag Kit Jounce Stainless - PB75XV

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Pacbrake Alpha XD Pro rear axle airbag suspension kit with internal jounce bumpers and stainless steel hardware. Now, this has been designed to fit your 2007 to current Sprinter 2500 and 3500s. Now, it is important that you do go through our Vehicle Fit Guide here at etrailer. Just input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and answer any other questions that it might have for you, and then our Fit Guide will confirm if this will work for your particular Sprinter, or if we have something comparable that will work for you.

So, as you know, when the load gets heavy and your Sprinter needs more than just those rear springs hanging on for dear life, these airbags are going to help with that. These are going to add up to 7,500 pounds of rear axle support. It's gonna help keep your Sprinter level and steady even when, for instance, if the trailer that you have hooked up to it is loaded, the cargo area is packed and the miles are long. So with this system, you're not gonna have to worry about that rear end sag anymore that's gonna throw off your braking or steering or make your headlights point up into the sky. Now, bottoming out just doesn't feel rough, it can actually wreck your bags.

That's why this system includes jounce bumpers inside of each bag, as you can see on that cutaway there. So even with no air pressure, your suspension has a built-in safety net. You're gonna be able to safely run at 0 psi when unloaded, which means no harsh rebound, just that smooth factory style ride. Now this kit does include these stainless steel braided air lines. They're gonna be more durable and resistant to wear compared to standard rubber lines.

You're also going to get these stainless steel roll plates, which are gonna help protect the airbags along with Schrader valves so that you can easily inflate or adjust the air pressure using a standard air source. On your screen, I'm showing you all the hardware that you're getting. The top photo there is going to be the standard hardware that's just going to come with this, along with the brackets and the air line. But the bottom photo shows you the stainless steel hardware upgrade kit that also comes with this. So you're not gonna use every piece of hardware that you see there, but I just wanted you to get a good idea of everything that you're gonna be getting.

I didn't have the room on my tabletop to display all of that there for you. Now that stainless steel is going to be a big upgrade for you, because they're built to last in harsh conditions. Obviously, it's gonna resist rust and corrosion a whole lot better than the standard hardware. Also, it's stronger and less prone to damage, so you're gonna be less likely to deal with leaks or wear over time. So these air springs are gonna give you full control over your ride height and firmness with adjustable air pressure from 5 to 100 psi. So for instance, if you're hauling a fifth-wheel or a full bed of gravel, you can crank that pressure up and then when you're unloaded and heading home, drop that pressure back down for a softer ride. These springs are built with 1-inch thick corrosion resistant end caps, and they're reinforced with 20 internal support wires for maximum strength under load. In my opinion, everything about Pacbrake is premium. The airbags, the hardware, and especially these precision laser-cut brackets, they're powder coated, they're designed to bolt cleanly to your Sprinter's existing mounting points without welding or drilling to your frame. So again, you're gonna get up to 7,500 pounds of additional leveling support, but just be aware of the fact that air springs don't actually increase your Sprinter's weight carrying capacity, so you do wanna make sure that you're not exceeding your manufacturer's recommended weight limits.
