Video Transcript for Lippert Center Point Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade Review
This air ride suspension is going to be designed by Lippert Components. What it's going to do is it's going to make your ride much more comfortable when towing a heavy trailer like this. When you're looking to add a suspension upgrade on to your trailer, I think this is probably going to be the way to go, in my opinion.If you think about putting airbags on a trailer, a trailer like this size is very heavy. Gross vehicle weight rating is 16,000 pounds plus. Well, if you think about something this size on the highway, what do you think about You think about tractor trailers. All your tractor trailers have air ride suspension.
Why do they have air ride suspension Because they're carrying heavy loads and they want a lot of that shock to be absorbed, not only from the road, but by the weight pushing down on your axles.So adding something like this is going to greatly reduce any of that. It's also going to greatly reduce chucking you get, and how that works is, let's say we didn't have this and we have our old suspension in place. What happens is, our two axles are working against each other.So let's say we hit the brakes. As this axle pushes up, it's pushing this one down. If we go over a bump, let's say we go over a bump there, this one goes up, this one pushes down, this one hits the bump, this one goes up, that one goes down, they're actually working against each other.With this setup, as this one comes up, it has that airbag to cushion it.
Instead of pushing down on the front axle, the airbag has taken up that, or is absorbing that pressure that this axle is pushing up and vice versa. It's going to do the same thing for the front.Even though we have this installed on a camper, it doesn't mean it's designed specifically for a camper. These are going to be designed for any Tana 00:01:46 Maxwell trailer that's able to carry heavy loads.Let's say you have a horse trailer that's Tana Maxwell, you can carry six, eight horses in it. That's a lot of weight. If you don't have a setup like this, the horses are going to be going like this every time you hit a bump.
With our air ride suspension like this, a lot of that road shock is going to be taken up by the bags through your suspension.So not only is this set up going to make your ride much better, but it's also going to make any cargo that you may be hauling, for instance, your horses, this is going to make their ride much better. It's going to greatly reduce a lot of vibration. You're going to get inside the camper, so you're not going to have to clean up inside when you get to wherever you're going.We had our own suspension installed on here, and we did a test. We had some water or a cup of water we had put inside, and with our old suspension, we lost about half of the water that we put in the cup.But here on the other side of the trailer, you can see it's going to be exactly the same on both sides. The construction of these is a very heavy duty steel.
And when I mean heavy duty, I mean these things weigh about 60 pounds each.If we come inside to our bags, these are going to be in double counter loaded bags. If you look right here in the center, there's going to be a metal rod that runs all the way around the center of that, and what that does is that keeps the bags from overlapping their selves.Put it in a little bit better perspective. If you have a single bag without this ring, what happens when that squeezes is the bag will kind of fold over itself, and what happens is that puts your pressure on that fold, and that fold can eventually start to wear out. With this, this keeps our bags from overlapping so it's going to make them last a lot longer.If we come down here to our shackle bolts. Our shackle bolts are going to have invert fittings. These are going to allow us to fill the inside of the bolt with grease. Being able to fill the inside of that with grease, because this part where the spring is, and this down here moves, being able to fill that is going to allow this to last much longer than just a regular bolt with a sleeve on it.I'm really impressed with how heavy duty these are here. We have 7,000 pound of axles. And you really need something this heavy duty when you're working with bigger trailers like this, which brings me to the next point. These are actually going to work with axles up to 8,000 pounds, so another 1000 pounds bigger than the ones we have here and bigger than this trailer, so that's how heavy duty these are.Another benefit to adding these is it's going to raise your trailer up two inches. Being able to raise that trailer up two inches, it's really going to limit how much damage you do to anything underneath. For instance, you go into a cammy 00:04:37 spot that has some different terrain on it, with regular suspension on it you could potentially tear off your drainpipes, which I've seen happen. Being able to add that two inches is going to greatly reduce that damage.The kit's also going to come with a valve and a gauge which is going to make it a lot easier when we need to fill our airbags, we don't have to go back to each side of the trailer to fill up the bags. We can do it from right here.This can also be mounted in several different locations on your trailer, it's going to come with plenty of airline tube to get it ran wherever you desire to put it.Our gauge allows us to fill our bags up to a hundred PSI. The filler valve is going to be just like a standard filler valve on your car tires, so you'd be able to get a regular air truck on it if you need to fill up your bags.And they're going to recommend five PSI for every 1000 pounds of weight. It's a good idea to check your weight rating on your trailer, and adjust your bags according to how you like to pull it.That's going to do it for a look at installation on the center point air ride suspension upgrade by Lippert Components.

Absorb road shock and reduce chucking on your trailer when you replace your standard equalizers with this airbag suspension kit. Adjustable psi lets you deflate bags for unloaded towing. Raises trailer height 2". Mounting hardware included.by: James04/04/2023
Installed slippers Center Point system on out Alpine 3101RL 5ver. The install is straight foreward if your mechanically inclined. Now about the lack of instructions, nothing shipped from Lippert. etrailer provided a link to help with that. I do prefer printed instructions opposed having to scroll through my phone with dirty hands.
The torque specs provided by Lippert don't align with normal torque charts for said fasteners. The banana shackles are very thin and unplated,they are just raw steel. For the cost of the suspension Lippert cound do better on the shackles in this kit. Lippert recommends in stalling the air gauge for the air bags outside,however to gauge is a cheap plastic model. I feel it would have a short life span exposed to the elements. The good now, it seems robust and likly to help absorb road shock. I have not had our 5ver on the road yet. But I will leave more feed back when I have. I purchased this suspension system after finding a broken main leaf on our front tandem. I replaced all of our leaf springs bushings and bolts with the wet bolts
Supplied in the kit. FYI Lippert neverfail bushings fail in less than 7k miles. We are not over weight.

Just installed the lippert center point and I have to say very impressed on how well it’s built. Super easy to install and I can’t wait to take it down these California roads and see how much better it rides. Installed on a 2022 jayco eagle Ht 29.5 BHDS
by: Mark 01/19/2022
I absolutely love this setup, it takes almost every bump out of play when towing my 5th wheel. Speed bumps are almost non existent. I would highly recommend this product, it's well worth the investment.

It works flawlessly, couldnt have made a better choice youll feel more of the bumps in your truck than you will the trailer. If youre a hunter and want to go down a bumpy dirt road, no problem. I would highly recommend this system.

Center Point Air Suspension Upgrade performed as advertised. We have a noticeable decrease in movement of items inside our Fifth Wheel after traveling. I would recommend and would do it again.
by: Ron03/31/2024
Product delivered in perfect shape. Had local RV repair shop install. Thought this was doing a great job till we took a trip to AZ and I17 from Flagstaff to Camp Verde proved me wrong. We had several things broke in kitchen. Wish I would have gone with moryde IS. If you have a short trailer that doesn’t weigh over 12k empty these would probably work great. Will be going to moryde in Sept to get IS and selling mine.
by: Ed07/29/2023
Adding disc breaks to my was the best upgrade I have ever made. The breaking power is fantastic, they are always in adjustment and I can stop my 36 ft 5th wheeler faster and safer with less strain on my truck.
by: Grady08/23/2023
Outer box came badly damaged but all parts their minus parts list and instructions.they where email to me immediately while I was on the phone.I install the air assist by myself on gravel with 2 bottle jacks and hand tools and torque wrench.excellent kit had everything needed.
by: John 12/11/2023
Worth the effort. Enjoying new brake sy stem.
by: David N.04/15/2023
I purchased this because I needed to lift my trailer 2 inches. I know that is not the purpose of this suspension. The suspension seems okay although not a noticeable difference with my Morryde CRE3000's. It did not raise my trailer at all. Zero. Huge waist of time and money!
by: Mark03/27/2024
Just received them and now I am making arrangements to get them installed ...to be continued...
by: Rhonda 11/13/2021
Before purchasing and installing these we were breaking leaf springs about once a year. Since adding this package, we are doing well (and the roads have not gotten any smoother!).

hey are holding up. Adding the air cushion package we also bought from your company seems to have addressed our breakage issue. Thanks for asking. Pleasant surprise!
by: James Stout01/28/2021
I had been looking at different equalizers with rubber components to give my 5th wheel a softer ride, then I seen the the Lippert center point setup, so I started watching videos of both, and after sometime thinking it over I decided to go with the Lippert center point because I used to drive a semi truck and trailer and both of them had air ride suspension, so for the money this was about as close to that setup as I could go without spending a lot more money, so for me I went with air ride 5th wheel pin box and Lippert center point suspension, I don’t have the suspension installed yet but I know it will make a lot of difference
by: Jason 09/13/2022
These air springs were night and day difference on our Vanleigh Beacon. We cannot recommend them enough. We bought a couple spare bags in case one blew out we would not be stranded as it might prove difficult to find them locally.
by: Mike 09/26/2023
Looks like a well made product. Timely sent.
by: Herb09/16/2022
It did not fit my unit. It would not slide up in between the bracket on the chassis. Would have required cutting the bracket off, obtaining a different bracket and welding it in place. It's a nicely designed product and would have given it a higher review but etrailer made me pay return shipping at $129.00. This is the reason I no longer purchase from etrailer.
by: Josh 04/06/2023
Made rv ride a lot smoother and loved made camper taller
by: Ken 09/16/2021
The product looks great. Very well built. Arrived on time. The air gauge was package with the heavy spring linkage and glass is cracked. Will add a picture. Will add a review after I get it installed. Ken

view full answer... - Which Shackle Holes to UseWhen Installing Lippert Center Point on Trailer With Shorter ShacklesYou need to use the included shackles of the Lippert Center Point System # LC1565391 that you referenced. I spoke with my contact at Lippert and they emailed me the following: They would need to use the supplied shackles that came with the center point system. 3" inches of clearance should be enough for the installation. The center point system is not designed to raise the coach for more clearance as it is used specifically for a more cushioned and smoother ride.
view full answer... - Does Center Point Tandem Axle Equalizer Kit Require Using Included Longer Shackle StrapsWhen you install the Lippert Components Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade # LC1565391 you do have to use the included shackle straps that are longer than what you have now in order for everything to fit properly and have the needed clearance. This will add 2 inches of height to your trailer but aside from that nothing else would be affected. You will get a much smoother ride quality from your trailer.

view full answer... - Direction of the Shackles When Installing the Lippert Center Point The side of the shackles with two holes needs to be mounted on the bottom of the Lippert Center Point item # LC1565391. The side with the single hole connects to your leaf springs. I have linked an installation video below along with a couple of videos so you can see how this is supposed to be set up.

With that being said, as long as your ATC 2513 Toy Hauler uses double eye leaf springs, have at least 2 1/2 Inches from the center of the bolt that fastens the equalizer to the spring hanger to the underside of the trailer frame where the hanger mounts,...

I reached out to my contact at Lippert who confirmed this.
view full answer... - Leveling 5TH Wheel Trailer For Towing Purposes That Will Not Create Door Height ProblemsFirst I recommend looking at the clearance that you have on your bed rails to the 5th wheel trailer. I have seen hitches adjusted higher than they need to be. You want to have 5-6" of clearance when parked on flat ground. If you have more than that you can either lower your hitch height or look at adjusting your pin box to lower it and level your trailer. If you do not have adjustment available the next step would be to install the Lippert Center Point by Trailair # LC1565391 that will...

This is an excellent choice for improving the ride while towing your trailer. The other requirement is double-eye leaf springs. As long as you have double-eye springs you are good to go. I have attached an installation video for your reference.
view full answer... - Does Center Point Air Ride Trailer Suspension System Fit with MorRyde X Factory CrossmemeberThe Lippert Center Point system part # LC1565391 would work just fine with the Mor/Ryde X Factor Crossmember setup you have on your trailer. The crossmembers would not interfere at all with this kit.
view full answer... - What is the Recommended PSI for the Lippert Center Point Air-Ride SystemThe recommended air pressure for the Lippert Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade # LC1565391 is going to be 5 PSI for every 1,000 pounds. So for your 27,000 lb. trailer you would be looking at 135 PSI. The # LC1565391 only goes up to 100 PSI so you will likely be maxing out at 100 PSI.
view full answer... - Should Shock Absorbers be Installed Along With Lippert Center Point by Trailair Suspension UpgradeAn added shock absorber kit is not something that is necessary with the Lippert Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade - Tandem Axle # LC1565391. The Center Point # LC1565391 is going to give your 5th wheel a huge upgrade in its suspension without the use of a shock kit. The air bags of the Center Point will act as shock absorbers, and ensure the best overall stability because they replace your equalizers. The air bags are attached to the equalizers and the fact they are...
view full answer... - Does Lippert Center Point Suspension Kit for Trailers Require Taller HangersThis is a really good question but you do not have to install anything beyond what comes with the Lippert Center Point # LC1565391. The 2 inch lift that gets added does not need to be compensated with longer hangers. So with just this kit you'll get the additional lift and the much improved ride quality and stability on your trailer. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well. You would not want to also install a lift kit with this either.
