Air Ride Suspension Kit Recommendation for 40 Foot Flat Bed Trailer
Question:
Im looking to buy a 40foot flatbed trailer and most companies want you to have air ride equipped on the trailer. Ive seen some products that you all sell that act as an air ride system and absorbs shock such as the sumo spring suspension. Will the sumo system or a timbren act as well as an air ride system, as far as absorbing shocks is concerned?

Expert Reply:
Air Ride suspension is not the same as the suspension enhancement kits you mentioned. The kits you mentioned are for providing more support whereas air ride is there to make the ride quality a bit smoother. We have an air ride kit though that would work well for you. If you have a tandem axle trailer you'd want the part # LC1565391 or if you have a triple axle part # LC1565401. The goal of these kits is to give you a smoother and overall better ride quality. As long as the trailer has double eye leaf springs these kits will fit and work well.
