Could Flex Air Pin Box be Inflated to Gain 1.5 inches of Height Temporarily
Question:
We purchased a new Ford f350 which is on the tall side for our fifth wheel. We would like to tow our fifth wheel level but the road out of our house requires extra clearance between the bed and the trailer. I was wondering if the air ride pin box would work to increase the distance temporarily till we get on the road, then lower air pressure to lower the front on trailer. We would need about 1 1/2inch of height adjustment on the pin box.

Yes, if you check out the picture I attached that shows the shock of the Flex Air part # LC328492 all the way maxed out you can see that there's easily 2 inches or more between the arrows where the shock needs to be when at correct pressure and where it ends up all the way topped out. So if you needed to inflate the bag to gain 1-1/2 inches temporarily this would work.
