OP you can also air the bags to 0, hop in the truck bounce up and down. Then air them to 35 and redo bouncy house. I'm 100% you'll feel the difference. :)
Yes you can, the issue is the install. Some Alum trailers you should not drill the mounting plates through the frame. Others it's ok, you need to ask the manufacture. If drilling is not an option you need a WD kit that bolts on like a clamp vs drilling through.
Alum is softer than steel, so...
They are not meant to add lift. They are meant for load support like air bags are.
Are you trying to lift your rig with air bags?
That's not the purpose of them, you need spacers or a lift kit.
We'll no and yes. Do air bags add "lift"? no. Air bags are not lift kits. They are not billed, sold, meant or designed that way.
You don't buy air bags to add lift for bigger tiers, well at least you should not.
Air bags are there to offer suspension support for loads. Usually installed on...
I found a truck set the way I want it and the dealer was nice enough to take a picture of the door load; 1196 payload. -79 less than set on the specification sheet but not as bad as I feared.
That's how I look at it, kinda the point of the gawr I brought up, but that's not at all how Jeep has them set.
Take a Sport gawr of 6850 - listed curb weight of 4691 = payload of 2159 WOW!! :rock: errr hard stop, payload is listed at 1105....
Stripped down max tow dose NOT have the highest...
Dry ok, what's the water capacity, water is 8 pounds per gal (ish), 35 gal is 280 pounds. Propane bottles are 55 each full for the typical RV size 2x is 110. Batteries? one is 60 two is 120.
That's 510 before you have even loaded a t-shirt. Unit have AC? awning? That's usually an accessories...
Is that really what the camper weighs? ie have you loaded it up with all your stuff, and scaled it at a CAT scale?
If not, do that then re look at it. IF that's the weight on the sticker of the trailer, see above, if that's what the dealer says it weighs, see above.
If you weighed it then...
Exactly, that's why I'm looking at them. The Q is if Jeep says X can carry 1700 pounds what are the actual differences in that model (to your point, breaks) vs the models that have a lower rating. Or is it all just a bunch of corporate bs? I suspect the latter.
I've looked and can't find...
650 is the tongue weight from the trailer. The hitch weight is your weight distribution hitch (some weigh more than 50lbs). The big heavy steel part that goes into your receiver the trailer hooks to.
The hitch that's bolted to the truck is part of the vehicle weight. BUT that is an option, it...
Hi all, lurker, finally joined up.
I've been looking reading and looking more. But I have to say the payload is an issue on this platform. Struggling to solidify to one due to it.
I'm looking at a 3.0l diesel and against what most say it's actually got the highest payload rating, save Max...
