Did you do it yourself and get free airbags?

what your saying would make sense. but that wouldn't work for the trailer i have. the only reason i could see it. would be a one peace heavy load. coming off the trailer. and popping the bags. so park the brakes so the valve dumps. no air in the bags when the one peice load comes off.

. cuz more often then not. my loads are going to be strapped in such that there's going to be at least one winch sitting over SOME part of the tire. i try to keep them off to the sides of the tire but sometimes it gets right on top. the trailer is brand new. but if i were to have a air leak being parked over night. or even at home for the weekend or what not. the strap is going to have to come undone so the winch can be slid over. cuz when the trailer is dumped. the winch gets jammed right into the tire. and when that happens. the winch can get bent out of shape. and the tire can get sliced into.

there's also the dillema that you think the trailer is pumped up. you go driving down the road. and later on you see the tire all chewed up and maybe the winch got messed up.

cuz, you know, some drivers just don't think about such things.

Snowy- we use remotes(remote mount ratchets) at the front of the wagons where a winch may hit a fender and over the wheels where you shouldn't have a winch or on steps where there isn't even a winch available(over the wheels) I carry 10 remotes because they come in handy on the reitnauers deck also.
