    Anyone have any experience with these air springs on a trailer?

    Looking at a new dry van with this set up and wondering how they hold up vs a traditional air bag and shock.

    That's their new setup ... Not info on them yet probably.
    I'm not sold on a axle without replaceable shocks. Will see if they actually work in the Long run.

    I never heard of it until I found a Utility van with that option on the spec sheet.

    I decided not to be a guinea pig for that setup since I’m unfamiliar with it.

    Decided to go with a Great Dane Champion SE with the Hendrickson HKANT 40k suspension which still utilizes shock absorbers.
