    So I got the center plug, which is the picture. What do I need to make an axle lift? Is it the back axle that looses air? It's a 10 year old LS trailer, so I don't know it will work anyway. But I have a tight drive way to back into and I'm curious if it would help me.

    You need a iso socket on the tractor side and an iso cord. Then you need to ground the tractors side iso socket pin. put a switch in your dash or use an existing one and run a power wire from the switch to the iso socket on your tractor. Either test the pins or take off the trailer socket to figure out which one is the correct pin that dumps the air.

    Usually the rear one dumps, wiring a valve In to the front will also help and back easier then a set of tandems.

    you could always shut the air off the the front bags and strap the front axle up if you had a far dead head, hillbilly lift axle type of thing
