Video Transcript for Review of Pacbrake Vehicle Suspension - Alpha HD Pro Rear Axle Air Bag Kit Jounce Stainless - PB84QV

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look together at this Pacbrake Alpha HD Pro rear axle single convoluted airbag suspension kit with internal jounce bumpers and stainless steel hardware. Now this kit has been designed to fit your 2003 to 2013 Ram 2500 two-wheel drive, and then your 2003 to 2018 3500 with the two-wheel drive, then your 2006, 2008 1500. 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 will work for you, or if we have something comparable that will work for you.

So as you know, when the load gets heavy, your truck is going to need more than just the rear springs hanging on for dear life. These airbags are going to give you up to 5,000 pounds of rear axle support, keeping your truck level and steady even when your trailer is loaded. Your bed is packed and the miles are long. So what that means for you is no more rear end sagging, throwing off your braking and steering or headlights pointing into the sky. Now, bottoming out just doesn't feel rough.

It can wreck your airbags. That's why this system includes internal jounce bumpers, and I've got a picture of an example of what the jounce bumpers look like inside of these bags. So even when there's no air pressure, your suspension has a built-in safety net. You're going to be able to safely run at zero PSI when unloaded, which means no harsh rebound, just that smooth factory style ride. Now this kit includes these stainless steel raided airlines.

So this is an upgraded kit because of the stainless steel airlines and other stainless steel hardware here from the regular kit. So these are going to be more durable and resistant to wear compared to the standard rubber lines. You're also going to get stainless steel roll plates, which help protect the airbags, obviously. Stainless steel shrader valves, so you're going to be able to easily inflate or adjust the air pressure using a standard air source. So the stainless steel components, as I mentioned, are a big upgrade, because they're built to last in those harsh conditions.

Stainless steel is going to resist rust and corrosion, and it's going to be much better than standard materials. Now, on your screen, I just want to show you everything that you're going to be getting. So you're going to be getting this kit with the standard hardware that you see at the top picture, but then you're going to be getting that additional upgraded kit of the stainless steel hardware, and you see that picture there on the bottom. So I didn't have room on my table to lay everything out, so I just wanted to show you what you we inchesre going to be getting. So again, this is going to include that the stainless steel upgrade kit, which is a great benefit. So each haul is different. That's why these air springs are going to give you full control over the ride height and firmness with adjustable air pressure from five to 100 PSI. If you're hauling a fifth wheel or a full bed of gravel, you can crank the pressure up. If you're unloaded and heading home, you can drop the pressure down for a softer ride. The manual inflation valves are going to allow you to tune your suspension for the day's work, so it's going to be very straightforward to do that. These springs are built with one inch thick corrosion resistant end caps and reinforced with 20 internal support wires for maximum strength under load. These are my favorite airsprings. I just love how Pacbrake has designed everything here. Everything is premium. You even have these powder coated laser cut brackets here that are going to bolt cleanly to your truck's existing mounting points, so no welding or drilling of your frame. So again, this is going to give you up to 5,000 pounds of additional load leveling support, but be aware that these do not actually increase your truck's weight carrying capacity, so you want to be sure that you're not exceeding your manufacturer's recommended weight limit. Instructions are included to guide you through the installation process. One final note, if you are excited to get this kit, you're convinced that it's going to work for you, but you're not really looking forward to the installation. On this product page, underneath the photo section, we have a link that will take you to our installer locator. If you click that link and answer some of the questions that it has for you, that locator will find an installer in your area that e-trailer has partnered with to do the work for you. If you happen to have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out. We do want to make sure that you're getting exactly what you need. Well, again, my name's Andy, thank you for joining me.
