I am negotiations for a new Spartan 1032 FW by Primetime. This FW will push the limits of my 2013 GMC Denali with the Duramax engine. I was planning on adding airbags but my question is, with a Trail Air pin box added & a B&W Companion hitch, would I need to add airbags still with the Trail Air pin box?
yes, as they do different things..
the trailair airbag softens the connection between the truck and the trailer. the truck axle airbags provide some lift to level the vehicle when the load is higher. I have both (and the Companion's little brother hitch, the Patriot)
on the newer model Fords, they softened the rear springs to improve the unloaded ride. but the loaded ride drops the rear more than most of us would like. I have them on my ford dually too.
