Hey Timothy, thanks for reaching out. Lippert does make the air ride system for a tandem axle trailer. Take a look at the following:
- Lippert Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade - Tandem Axle # LC1565391
This will work on axles rated up to 8,000 lbs. It does a great job smoothing out the ride and reducing chucking. The air ride system is also compatible with other suspension upgrades like shocks # LC281281 (3" axles) and crossmembers # MR33WR so those can be added on if desired. The air ride kit by itself will go a long way to improve the suspension and cut down on the bouncing, so if smoothing the ride is your main concern, that is what I recommend starting with. The other upgrades can always be added later if needed.
With the air ride system, it is recommended to add a compressor system like part # AL25980 so you can monitor and fill the bags on the go. This actually allows you to monitor air pressure from your smartphone which is a huge plus if you tow often.
How frequently do you get out with your 5th wheel?
