Question:

Will this work with 10k axles? What is the max weight rating?

I reached out to my tech contact at Lippert and their engineers stated the Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade - Tandem Axle # LC1565391 can be used on up to 8,000 lb axles. They don't have a specific GVWR for the trailer as that weight can vary on coupler/pin box weights, but obviously this system will support up to 16,000 lbs of constant load. Unfortunately that means it is not compatible with 10K axles.

If that works for your application, you can use a compressor system if desired with these air springs. I recommend the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Hand-Held Remote - Single Path # AL25980 which will allow you to mount the compressor on the trailer and use the wireless remote to monitor and adjust the air pressure from your truck.
