Air bladder for a leveler?

[Deadeye]

So I was thinking that some sort of inflatable air bladder under a couple wheels might make a great leveling system for a RTT.

My vision is something is something I can drive overtop while deflated, and hook a chuck from my on bird air to fill it up. I found something ina forum from 2009 for RV,s but it seemed like there were issues with people deflating before retracting their levelers and it caused some damage.

anyone have a lead?

You could use the air ride bladders meant for towing & probably do this for at least the rear 2 wheels. That should be enough to level side to side, but front to back would be a bust if the front was lower then the back from being parked on uneven terrain.

I think I know what you’re talking about, but could you provide a link? I have been googling all night, and am only getting exhaust jacks and air shocks.

I wanna say it was air lift 1000 was the model used for the stock rear springs. for what you wanna do though you may want longer ones. Could run the schrader valves to being under the gas flap too. You may wanna just contact air ride & ask if they can help. They may possibly have a solution for all 4 corners.

These things have been out for years now...

Just use some rocks

Check out the Andersen leveling ramps for travel trailers. I have a set I’ve used with a trailer and now our RV. They work wonderfully!

I have some leveling ramps, but I think an air bladder would be super easy, compact when not in use, and faster than scouting for rocks and piling them perfectly. It would also be super easy to fine-tune.

yeah, worst case, I'll probably go this route. Was hoping to find something a little cheaper, since I am going to carry a couple. I don't probably need to travel 30", and would also need to convert the exhaust tip to an air chuck. Again, not a huge issue, but if I could find a built for purpose system...
