Adding adjustable ride height to older Fontaine RGN

Do you have enough with 2 rideheight settings?

 

You can also install a second rhv and 2 two way valves one on the input and one on the output side.

 

The piece with the holes is mounted to trailer, air valve is on a plate that pivots as you move lever up or down. Call xl factory in Iowa and they can sell you one.

 

Easiest way to do it.

 

This is the way mine is done.

 

Until it gets corroded from weather.

 

Yep but if you keep it lubed up works well.

 

Here is the factory setup on a 05 Fontaine 55 ton.


I built the same type of setup on this Jeep trailer in a couple hours time. And used bearings so the #### thing won't freeze up every couple weeks like the Fontaine does...

 

You really can't do that with 4 in a row with the leveling valve on axle 2#. The arch of the trailer when empty will have the 4th axle bottomed out.

 

Precisely, weight, plays a big part in with height along with how much arch you knock out of trailer. On east coast setup. West coast not so much. I have a (neutral) setting I run when empty.
