Pin Box Shock Supressor

[Jim_and_Barb]

I am looking for some input before I purchase one I heare the 5th Airborne has a good one. Are there any better ones? My pin Wt. is 1250

I have the 5th airborne and it is a great product. I do a lot of towing in Arizona. Having the air bag totally protected from the sun should be a big plus. As for the pivot point to the center of the air bag distance that distance is adjustable on the 5th airborne. Enables you to adjust for your pin weight. I set mine so my air pressure was in the 60 psi area.

Nice to see some people do use their brain when it comes to air pressure on a dually's rear tires.

I love the ones that complain about the ride and I suggest weighing the trucks rear axle and then air up per the load/air chart for that tire. I get the Deer in the headlights lOOk and then they ***** because the rear tires were shot in 25K!

"But the tire says 80psi"

I guess they don't know what the word MAX means.

The TrailAir really is a great product. I have never used the Airborne, I would day the TrailAir would be better because the length from the pivot point to the center of the air bag is longer.

I have a fifth airbourn and love it . I have no chucking and it makes the ride much smoother. If the truck suspension was smoother I would not even feel the pin weight of the trailer, it was the best upgrade so far. I have a 14000 gvw trailer and around a 2800 pin weight. I like the looks of the fifth airbourn over the trail air because of the air bag and shock are hidden from the view and the elements.

What are running for air pressure in the rear duals?

I have the TrailAir Tri-Glide, and to be honest, I've never measured the air pressure. They aren't like tires...the bladder requires a different amount of air for each trailer and no two trailers weigh the same on the pin. Even the same trailer will require different air pressures depending on the altitude. Not ever having had a 5th Airborne, I don't know how they set up theirs, but, TrailAir units have an arrow on the shock body and you add or remove air to keep the shock's dust shield at the point of the arrow. I've found the best ride to actually be about 1/4" lower, but, I use the arrow as a reference and not a set psi in the bladder.

How much air is everybody putting in their air ride pin box?

Jim and Barb If you were asking about airborne being the air style the Mor/Ryde is not that. Hard to beat any air product. Good luck on your choice.

Thank You to all! I may get even more confused now, but I see Mor/Ryde may be the clear choise. Thank You to all.

I just put a TrailAir on my 5er this week. Haven't really tested it yet, we leave for a 450 mile trip Thursday. Really looking forward to it.

I had a MorRyde on our old Arctic Fox and it was great. New Fox has an Airborne, looking forward to towing with that, should be even better.

I can't speak directly to the 5th Airborne, but our last fiver had a Trail/Air and now we have the Mor/RYDE. I like the air pin better. In fact we bought an air hitch and the combination of the Mor/RYDE and air hitch is a nice ride, but I think that if I had the air pin I wouldn't needed the hitch.

we have the MorRyde that i did as an update several years back. For the money it does a nice job. We could instantly see a difference.
