<p>[QUOTE="SHC, post: 3008116, member: 61564"]It is not illegal to have a dump valve on a trailer, most manufactures install them from the factory even. Also, I have never seen or heard of anyone getting a ticket for dumping the axle to make a turn. 99% of all turns you make while driving down the road will never require you to dump the bags anyways. it is mainly to assist in backing manuvers and help keep the tires from binding and "flat-spotting". And to be honest, I don;t think the bags would drop fast enough for someone to notice OR for it to help with a regular 90* intersection turn. So it's kind of pointless to use it for that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
