This is my first Trailair pin box and perhaps I'm just not accustomed to all the bouncing and back and forth movement. If I hit a bump or dip in the road at 40-55 mph, my trailer really bounces at the hitch. To the point where I'm worried on wet pavement I may lose control.

I've set the air at about 110 psi so the cyclinfer is right at the arrows. I've also lowered my hitch (Reese Elite 25k) to its lowest point so my RW (36RE) is level when hooked up. My TV is a 2011 Ford F450 with airbags set at 50 psi.

Have I missed something or is this just how the pin box behaves.

It sounds normal to me.
</span>The Tri-Glide is just that, it moves in a lot of different directions,
but the object is to absorb the shocks of bumps and bangs and not transfer the
energy to the rig. </span>Remember with that
air bag the pin box frame is riding on air.<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />

Kevin and Tammy.....Our trailer acted lije it was going to tear the hitch plumb out of the bed when we first got it and traveled on a road that wasn't very level...Like I-20 between Terrell TX and Ft. Worth the road is very wavy...Others on this sight had the same problem atersomne air adjust ments we found our 36 FB pulled like a dream with 63 to 66 lbs of air inthe trail air unit..just a littl below the tip of the arrows....the sames as putting 110 psi in your car tires when maximum is 44....Try to lower your and see if it helps....But don't lower the pressre until you have actuall hooked up to your TV

I find my F350 rides best with the air bags pumped to 95

Thanks to all for the feedback. Sounds like I need spend some more time making minor adjustments to see what works best for me.

Thanks again

We have a GMC no airbags. Our hitch is just below the arrow tips. Rides like a breeze.
