    How you doing, just have a question. We just bought a 2005 Polar Pneumatic, air ride and our discharge hose is 5 inches from the ground. Does anybody have any advice or guidance on how to fix this issue to at least maybe a foot to foot and half? We are new to this industry and thought we had a solid trailer till we saw the ground clearance. We are hauling fly ash. Any help or leads would be great. Thanks!

    Does your trailer have the U shaped axle for the line to go under the axle and give you more room ?

    Any competent mechanic or trailer shop should be able to replumb that for you.

    Yeah if you want it higher just run a rubber product hose from rear tee over the axles and secure it so it doesn't rub anything. I have the same trailer mine is this way.

    If you mean your product pipe between the tees is that low that is strange. I made spacers to lower the king pin plate which raised the front of the trailer 3 inches to help with load distribution. But didn't have ground clearance issues.
