mercer transportation

Most of them I've seen the front axle was the lift axle.

 

Scooter, you are behind the times. That's what I originally did many moons ago.

I got the bolt on kit for intraax Hendrickson suspension , found it on Amazon for 550 bucks.

However , I did originally put a cut off valve on the line to the two front bags , dump the air , drive up on blocks , cut off the valve , use 2 , 2 inch straps to hold axle up, drive off blocks and air back up.

Many mercer guys have done this, works well. Just a bit of work.

Costs less than 50 to rig one up.

 

Well replaced my Coolant sensor end now the check engine light is gone! I filled that SOB up with dyeeletric Nothing on my truck has this

 

They're talking about aluminum trailers

 

Yep. That's the way to do it.

 

Trailers are built different with different needs in mind.

 

I was talking about great Dane aluminum deck steel beam trailers. And i make no claims of accuracy of the statement, just repeating what hendrickson and great Dane told me when i bought my lift axle kit from them. First from Hendrickson, who i didn't really believe so spent a week getting ahold of a structural engineer at great dane.

 

It did when it left the factory. The stuff dries out over time. Once a year or so take an hour and put a couple dabs in all the electrical connections. If nothing else it will help keep the water out.
