Re: air bags

I have air bag controls inside my console along with their air horns under the hood. Op thanks for the reply. Very curious about your weights. As I said before I added bags for spring control. I run them at 30 psi loaded. At that pressure the ride height does not change. Based on your pics your truck sits level, that I would not change. Also I highly recommend getting rid of your POS stock shocks and get the Yellow and blue Bilstien's from www.genosgarage.com. You will thank me! With the bags set at 30 and the new shocks it really smoothed out some of the horrible California roads. Ditto on the PacBrake System, Plus the exhaust brake on mine. No horn.... yet.:)353Views0likes0CommentsRe: Auto slide hitch question
My airborne used a bolt on, they just drilled and tap it. The installer did call Pullright before hand to make sure he did it by their recommendations. I would call Nick with PullRight yourself on the Demco, I have talked to him before and he is really helpful!260Views0likes0CommentsRe: What is Dutchmen quality and warranty response like?
One thing you have to remember about most 5th wheel manufacturers, They make low to high quality trailers in their lines. They say "starter to luxury lines" I have a 2006 Dutchmen Grand Junction, So far no problems and lots of miles!433Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sliding Hitch or not
ohiopicker wrote: There seems to be an assumption that getting a short bed TV automatically means you'll need a slider. I bought that argument on my first TV. I subsequently found that I almost never used the sliding feature. When I transferred the hitch to my next TV, also a short bed, the slider went on Craigslist, and I've never missed it. I try to plan my maneuvering ahead, and find that I haven't needed to have my truck jackknifed around to where a slider is needed. Has anyone else had this experience! One thing to keep in mind is what brand of truck you use. Dodge has the shortest distance between rear axle and cab, while chevy has the most. Also where is the pin located in relation to the cap of your fiver. Is it 6'' behind the cap or 6'' in front... These variables mean the difference between a waste of money for a slider, or a broken window... David234Views0likes0CommentsRe: Saliun S637

Also remember that the Sailun is just a standard LT tire and according to you know who would be bad choice, being re-grovable and re-treadable and has to deep of tread and built similar to the two tires above. He will never endorse use of this tire on a trailer, most likely starting another campaign against it. Chris Sailun is far from a LT tire as the 2 above! The LTs are rated at 3045# per tire way under what My 5er requirements. Sailun is rated at 3750# per. Other than diameter 30.7" for GYs to 31.7" 637s their specs. are the same. http://www.goodyear.com/cfmx/web/truck/line.cfm?prodline=160007 http://www.sailuntires.ca/en/tires/s637.html271Views0likes0CommentsRe: Slider Hitch
