Question:

I have a 2017 Jayco Pinnacle 36FBTS that Id like to install the Lippert centerpoint air system on. My current suspension has a Jayco/Mor/ryde plaque on the outside center, and a crossbeam going across to the3 opposite side from behind that center frame bracket. Would I have tyo rtemove that crossbeam to install the center point suspension? What will that do to the strength of the system? fbts

Expert Reply:

To install the Lippert Center Point # LC1565391 on your 2017 Jayco Pinnacle 36FBTS you are going to have to remove the MORryde X-Factor Crossmember # MR99ZR. This brace is used to reduce stress on the frame and hangers when making tight turns.

Thank you Bud, My concern is that removing the MORyde Xfactor crossmember will substantially weaken the suspension. Is there a way to maintain that strength while adding the air suspension? Thanks!

@GerryK You could add the MORryde X-Factor Crossmember # MR33WR to the front and rear hangers. This will help add strength to the chassis.

@BudM do you know if the Lippert Center Point will fit the center hanger on the 2017 Jayco Pinnacle 36FBST?

@GerryK The Lippert Center Point # LC1565391 only requires the center hanger to be at least 3" wide or wider and be at least 2-1/2" from the equalizer hole to top of the hanger. Based on your images your trailer appeared to meet both of those criteria.
