When to use suspension dumps

I only dump suspenion when unhooking a loaded trailer after you put the landing gear down

 

I rarely dump the suspension on my truck. About the only time I do drop it is when I drop a trailer. When you dump the valve before backing under the trailer and then inflate the suspension, it can take some stress off the landing gear which can make it easier to crank up.

 

Sometimes I have to drop my loaded trailer on a scale. I lower the legs til they just touch the deck. Then I dump my bags and pull out. Also when I'm making a delivery on a logging road with steep inclines I'll dump my bags when I'm empty to gain more traction.

 

Dumping the suspension will give you a little more traction in the white stuff.

 

I used the dumps when I drop a loaded trailer, after the landing gear is down.

 

use the dump when moving 5th wheel, other than that I dont really use it much

 

Drives or tandems or both?

And can you explain how that works?
