Solution for Shocks of Lippert Center Point Rubbing Tires

Question:

Where as my shocks are rubbing on my tires once in a while on just one side of the 5th wheel, should I remove the shocks and go with out or take the trailer to a welder and have them modify the top shock mounts? Do the shocks help much with this suspension system? Thanks for your help,

If the shocks of your Lippert Components Trailair by Center Point Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade # LC1565391 are rubbing your tires occasionally that just means you have a clearance issue that could be fixed by taking the trailer to a qualified welder to move the shock mounts closer to the frame so that they are further away from the tires.

The shocks help quite a bit to smooth out the ride quality. Removing them would cause the ride to much harsher. I would not recommend that.
