Can this system be used to smooth out rough ride without trailer load
229554
If you have a 1 ton truck like I do, it won't smooth out the ride from the stiff springs. Only changing to softer springs would smooth out the ride, but then you wouldn't have a 1 ton truck anymore. I normally deflate the airbags to 10 lbs. If you had any more pressure in them it would actually make the ride even stiffer. The only thing that can soften the ride without modifying the suspension is to have a load in the bed. If you tow a trailer you will notice the ride is smoothed out. Or throw a few sand bags in the bed and you will notice a somewhat softer ride. I carried sand bags to Colorado to get more traction on the icy roads and i noticed a change.

Not really. Works to raise vehicle under load then you deflate back to 5-10#. Only works under load

No...the system will either have zero effect, positive or negative, with approximately 5 psi in the bags (minimum recommended pressure) or a negative effect upon unlaiden ride with more than minimum pressure.

Depends on your objective. If you want to stabilize the ride then they are better if you are hauling extra heavy loads then you need the air shocks to level the vehicle.

In this model, there is no trailer control. Instead you will need to use trim control all way up.

I have a heavy I have a heavy RV and only using 40% of the capacity of the air lift system I level out with ease. I'm certain you would appreciate a great improvement in ride and handling. Probably the best towing accessory I've ever bought.

First you need to provide 12 volts DC continuous power. Second, it may mimic a crash situation with the bumpy ride and lock in all those videos. Good luck.

Well its not this system! Used on my camp trailer to assist the springs so that when I walk in it doesn't sway so much and it works well but I am about 10% of the weight you are talking about. I think you should look at air bag spring assists and adjust the air for the weight, much more money.

They will increase the amount of weight you can load in the bed of a pickup, I don't know if the will help pulling a trailer since I don't pull anything. The reason I purchase these were to stop wheel hop and they have done that.

Yes the ride is smooth. I did have to secure the rubber tips with gorilla glue to keep them in place when pedaling on carpet, but overall there were no problems with the equipment.

Yes it will but it is incredibly slow. It's so slow that it actually takes a couple of seconds of watching it to tell if it's going up or down. I can probably raise/lower my trailer at least 3-4x faster manually!

Sorry to have a negative answer, but differently not. While the large wheels do make moving about smooth as possible on solid ground, or pavement. The tires are very narrow and would sink in the sand causing serious injury. I am not knowledgeable as to a device that could fit your, or your loved ones needs. I just read comments left by others.....I have to use an analogy that the tires are narrower than a bicycle, and there are four of them.As an able bodied person, I could not handle this rollator on sand. Please do not try...Erwin Batchelder

We ride ours outside up and down the driveway, and occasionally on the road. It can handle minor pebbles, cracks, bumps. I wouldn't go on a particularly rocky road, however, since the wheels aren't that big.

If you do not have any other jacks or hydraulics to stabilize the vehicle, these will help stop all the rocking around. I have them but on a fifth wheel which is where I normally see this type of jack.

I do not ride rough terrain, but I would be comfortable giving it a try. I would especially consider using this holder coupled with a sturdy case in your situation.

With the vibrations it may get damaged. Also truck needs to be stationary when working. Answer is not very sure.

I never try it, but if you use is for long distance ride, I suggest you to buy another one cause this one's wheels is a little bit wider. It probably make you harder.

Yes, and the whole system is well made. The tongue weight of my trailer varies from time to time, so I like being able to level my load by adjusting the height of the ball mount.

Bear in mind that I have no idea how heavy you're talking about, but I was able to move a Serro Scotty (1967 version) about 200' in rough terrain. It was not easy but I was trying to do something that the device was not really intended to do. Again, I don't know how much weight you're talking about, so take what I say accordingly. I was impressed by the power of this thing. If you're talking 12" or so on flat, paved terrain, it may do the job. If this is a giant fifth wheel kind of trailer, you cannot do it.
