Trailair kingpin upgrade
I wanted to share my amazement at the ride quality improvement after I installed a Trailair air cushioned kingpin. We just completed a 2 week trip from Central Illinois to Florida and this kingpin is the best upgrade I've ever done. I tow with a 2012 6.7 F350 SRW with airbags to level the truck (33 psi). Our camper is a Coachman Chaparral 360IBL. I was worried the double airbag setup (truck & kingpin) would create too much bounce. In fact, it is completely opposite. My truck Blisten shocks combined with the one on the Trailair kingpin made the camper and truck float like a Lincoln Towncar. No more slams, hard bumps, or bouncing. The trailair bag is about 60 psi.
This is absolutely the best upgrade I've ever done. I purchased the kingpin from etrailer, which has been awesome to work with over the years.
Major upgrades:
* Front AC (Mach 8 polar cub)
* Slide out covers
* Electric over Hydraulic disk brakes
* Added shocks to camper axle (couldn't do rear due to slide outs)
* Trailair kingpin.
