The airbags arrived a couple of days ago, as you can see, we bought the Firestone Ride Rite System, now just have to pick a day to install them. Since Sheryl has her back procedure Tuesday, Wednesday sounds like a good day for an install or maybe Thursday, ahhh the retired life, no need to be in a hurry to do anything. I know once the airbags are installed, I will have to have the 5ver lifted a little as in already rides a little bit nose high, and that's with the truck squatting. Luckily the spring hangers have the height adjustment holes to allow for another 2-3 inches. This should allow the trailer to ride level (or pretty darn close) along with allowing for more clearance between the wheels and the wheel shrouds on the trailer. The way the trailer sits now, the wheels are almost in contact with the shroud.
The weather here in Southern NM has finally started to clear. The past few days have been cold and rainy. Before that, wind and dust storms, you hardly wanted to go outside. This week were looking at 70's each day and hopefully a good start towards Spring weather.
That's all for now and well see you fine folks back here before long.
I didn't suggest Firestone in case you had other plans but that's the ones we use and have nothing but good things to say about them.
ReplyDeleteThe stock suspension system will cause the trailer to ride rougher even by adjusting the shackles to raise the heighth. To help raise the trailer and make it ride better look at the different systems offered by MorRyde,

Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Just don't sprang your knee adding those air springs!
