Do you fill air bags first and apply load OR can load be on hitch (5th wheel) and adjust. Unable to see on site.

You can adjust the air pressure at any time. If you had the pressure set to say 30psi and then load the weight of your 5th wheel, the pressure in the bags would tend to increase . . . but the Air Lift 25870 WirelessONE Compressor System automatically compensates and keeps the pressure at 30psi. (30psi just used as an example) I leave my pressure at 5psi until after I load my trailer. I then adjust the pressure to 50psi for towing.

However you like, I have tried both I see no difference in results.Once you start using this system you will notice as you add and remove load from truck or trailer airbags will adjust to keep the pressure at which you have set.They are very durable and if you fill them up before adding load it will not affect the bag because the pressure will remain the same.

I will usually fill the PSI to 45 while attaching my trailer... I typically tow 12,600Lbs. Then depending on road conditions, etc with the wireless remote (looks like and is about the size of a garage door opener) I adjust the PSI to comfort, usually 60 psi seams to take the bounce out and ride smooth as ice. Best part of having an onboard air adjustment system like this is at the end of the day you can easily fill the bags, and empty/lower the psi with a push of a button. Hope this helps.

Due to varying loads i don't "air up" the bags until hitched up. That way I can set the level of the truck as required. Personal preference only but honestly I doubt it matters in the big scheme of things. You will however want to "air up" prior to driving otherwise you could damage the bags from bottoming out. That is why the bags have a minimum inflation of 5psi. Hope this helps

i hook up 5th wheel first than fill air bags . that way you can get your 5th wheel right where you want it

Each hitch is measured and adjusted according to the size and weight of the trailer. So u would have to adjust it each time you switch it out.

Hi, It varies upon the trailer frame. Insert the head on the hitch of the truck. Back up and drop the trailer all the way down on the ball. Place tension bars in their sockets and lift the chains so they are straight up on the frame. This is where the brackets go. It's easy. Hope this answers your question.

No but, go to airliftcompany.com to get the perfect size and fit. I highly recommend the Air Lift 5000. This is the second truck I have used them on and they are great. Don't know how long they last because I sold my last truck with on it after only 200,000 miles with the lift. I haul a 17,000 # fifth wheel and I sit level hooked up.

Standard hitch opening,instead putting a ball on it u attach the loader to it and bolts on like a ball does

I put one on all four corners two sides , to help me when I arrive at the site , one on to level front to back on each corner then one on each corner to level side to side . Really makes a difference in the walking an especially sleeping . I have a fifth wheel so I use 8 but in 35ft it makes a difference front to back & side to side Hope this helps thanks for the question .

This particular hitch is not adjustable. Sounds like you need a more universal, adjustable hitch. I would contact an RV center for suggestions

There is just a preprogrammed haul setting. I have a 03 dodge ram with 35's. When towing my 6x12 enclosed trailer in drive, it would shift from 3 to 2 all the time. Installing the tow setting it has more power and doesn't down shift like that anymore. Truck has a little bit better mpg's when towing.

This website has instructional videos on set it up, the videos are better than paper instructions. The other response is right. http://www.loadmastervideos.com/

Not sure. I mounted the air compressor on my 2013 Tundra along with Firestone air bags. I tow a 30' camping trailer and like to have both the truck and trailer a level as possible going down the road. I run the air bags with 5lbs of air without the trailer and 50lbs of air with it. I guess it really matters how much your truck sags when you have your trailer fully loaded. The nice thing is that I can stand back and use the remote control to operate the compresser and fill the air bags. The alternative is to manually fill the air bags with an external compresser via air valves.

It's actually "D" Load Range, but that was ok with my particular application. I haul a 2008 Jayco Baja Popup Off Road Camper with the one cargo platform. I 4x4 up a River Wash with large rocks and have never had a problem. Not sure how it would apply to hauling a 5th wheel trailer....

It is very easy. You press a lever on the side and then you push the unit down or let it spring up. All 4 wheels are adjusted at the same time.

I didn't use a pressure switch... My system is relay activated by a switch... When I need more pressure I hit the in cab switch... This way I can adjust myself between the fifth wheel camper... The boat.... And the equipment trailer... All need different pressures.. I found that riding level doesn't always ride right... If I ride level with the camper it is far too harsh of a ride...

iwould say that if you are towing that much with a1500 size truck i would go to an air bag set up the shocks i put on my truck made it real rough rideing with nothing in the back end i own ahot shot company and played with a lot of set ups the air bag is the best way to go this way you can tow ur load level and the truck will be level as well thats the safeist way to go let me know steve

I think you can adapt the lines to the airbag kit in the similar way as I did to air shocks, however depending on the bags it may take longer to fill and make sure you have enough PSI. good luck.

No it is stationary. You may not have a problem depending on the size of your tire but my is oversized at 35 inches and that causes the problem. I have heard there are extenders available to add to the hitch but haven't looked for them yet. One thing is that the upright bar does fold down but only to about 45 degrees and not enough to open the swing gate on my wrangler.

I have a 33 foot fifth wheel and had a class 3 hitch welded to the frame in the back of my 5th wheel Rv and then put this bike rack on that hitch and put 2 (a men's and women's) 12 speed bikes on this bike rack and went from Rochester, New York all the way down to Pigeon Forge, TN. (Spent one week on vacation down there) and came back to Rochester, NY. And the rack proved to work great with no, and I repeat no problems. Have a nice day.
