Question:

I have a 2024 Jayco Pinnacle 38flgs with 8000 dexter axle with Abs and tow assist with Morryde LRE-4000 rubberized suspension and Im wondering if this air bag kit would work on my 5th wheel.

Hi Eric,

So the Trailair system you were referring to needs standard center hangers, and the LRE doesn't use that, as you know, because they have the rubberized shear hanger. That means the Trailair won't work with what you have, but there is an option to help with your suspension, which is to add the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Shock Absorbers for Tandem Axle Trailers - 8,000-lb Axles # RM-2470.

The Comfort Ride Shocks # RM-2470 will work in the same manner as the air bag system for improving your ride by stabilizing it and controlling movement, but doesn't replace the equalizers, which means it is compatible.

The top portion of these bolt onto your trailer frame while the bottom side is connected to the tie plates with bracket extensions, so it's overall a pretty simple setup, but one that is really going to help improve how your trailer rides.
