Add air bags or air shocks to level trailer???

Has anyone added air bags or air shocks to their travel trailer simply for leveling when in camp. Not for additional weight.

Seems like it would be ideal.....

  • Already have a built in compressor. Was thinking shocks would make the trailer ride better and if I used air shocks I could also level it.

    Custom length air shocks on Ebay are only $75-$90 a pair with all hoses etc. Would just need to weld up a few mounts and run some hose.

    A whole lot easier and faster than boards.....
  • Interesting idea...I haven't. But, seems like a lot of expense and complicated systems to accomplish a very easy task using thetongue jack and boards or Lynx Levelers.

    Air bags/air shocks - also need a compressor, complicated installation, etc.
