Question:

I would like to know how satisfied people are with the performance of this product and how reliable it is. I am considering purchasing this system but want to be sure it is worth the investment and is not a high maintenance item. Are the bags dependable? thanks

The Lippert Center Point Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade # LC1565391 for tandem axle trailers will provide a substantial improvement in ride quality over standard equalizers. This is why nearly all semi trucks use an air ride suspension of one type or another.

The merits of this system include the ability to adjust spring pressure based on trailer load and road conditions, reduction of road shock and chucking and the extra clearance you'll get from the 2-inches of lift the kit provides.

As for maintenance, there is no lubrication required as the Center Point is designed to perform best when dry. The only routine maintenance is for the brass in the link-eyes of the shafts and the standard maintenance required for the spring eyes of the standard suspension that you have now. The rubber springs themselves almost never fail. The install instructions are linked.

For comments from owners of the system you can check out RV forums.
