Another Reason To Not Have Airbags
I know this has been discussed to nauseum, but I am currently towing my cargo trailer that is combined weight of about 7K LBS, and some stuff in the bed of the truck and of course fuel and two bodies....

I have a slow leak in the air system which after a day of traveling, it squats the truck and puts more weight on the front of the tandem trailer wheels. The truck handles the squat fine with a dually, but it causes for concern. I just add air and go at this point. Timbrens won't do this and I will be dumping the air system depending on what I find, and switching back at some point. Hopefully its just a small hole in the air line.
If you have a 7klb trailer that even remotely squats a dually, you either need to re-think how it’s loaded or it’s well over 7klbs.
So your system has a leak and that’s a reason to not have them?
If your tires have a leak is that a reason to not have tires!
Great example, now rethink it. Now after you re thunk it, I said if it was a cheap fix I would keep the system. If not, I would switch it out. Why?, because I have used them in the past, I hate the ride, and Tibrens in my opinion work better. Nuff said.
