Calling ALL Trailer Saver Owners
I recently purchased a TS3. Is everyone running their air pressure to the white line or have you fine tuned it to a set pressure?

I have 2 ts3 hitches, an older one and a new, just starting to use, 2007 hitch. The older one i added more air to about an inch above the line. The newer one seems fine at the line. I think the older bags have more articulation than the newer ones or there just worn more?. I added the the compressor and really like being able to air up on the go.
Have always lifted the trailer a couple inches with air in the bags, figured any help for electric motors lifting front of fiver helps it live a longer life. Before compressor I would just lift until I could just see any light between slip plate and head or pin box surface. At that point you can just pull out and nothing moves, there is no tension on anything. With the compressor in hitch, I raise an inch or two then let air out.
Very happy with their hitches! Only thing I would warn folks on is to make sure you lube the inside of head pins that allow it to tilt foward and back. Easy to lube outside of pin, not so easy for inside of that pin. It will will cause ware if not lubed. You need to use two big screwdrivers and close the jaws to see the area I'm talking about. Make sure it gets lubed!
