Does Lippert Components Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade Include Compressor

Question:

I have 2017 Momentum 376th 5th wheel. Came with LCI Equa-flex suspension. Bounces and throws stuff all over the trailer. Have upgraded axles to 8k and the brakes to electric over hydraulic disc. Looking at LCI PART# 1565401 Air bag system. Does it come with the compressor? Does the gauge mount in the truck? Is there any type on monitoring system ?

The Lippert Components Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade # LC1565401 that you referenced does not come with a compressor as it's not typically used with an in-cab or trailer unit. The air valves are usually just run to an external compressor when needed. The included gauge and panel is designed to be mounted to the trailer frame.

With that being said you can certainly add a compressor to allow for easier operation. For this I recommend the Air Lift # AL25980, a single path system which will fill all the bags to the same psi. The compressor kit can be installed on the trailer and the wireless remote will reach them from the cab of your truck. The remotes themselves feature a digital gauge that will monitor the air pressures.

I have attached a couple short video demonstrations that you can check out as well.
