Nice trailer until an airline blows or a bag pops and the trailer hits the ground while towing. But for $12Gs I am sure they thought of that too.

I thought of the same thing Albert... an airbag lets go and then what!?!?! My big azz trailer is bagged (air ride) but it has stops on it. I've checked it out with the air dumped and it wouldn't hit anything or drag.

I've looked into making one, it's not going to be just a weekend job for sure. Especially if I hold true to not wanting to cut a slot in my front nose cover for one. It IS a street car still, remember... ;)

It'll have to be easily removable and hang down below the nose cover which means it'll have to be over engineered to be strong enough...

But back to the trailer... What powers the air compressor?

Mine's driven by a 450HP Mercedes Diesel (DD13) with 1450 foot pounds of torque!!!

I believe the airbag is only needed to drop the trailer bed, not to drive. I.e. the bag airs up, cantilever-ish drop of the suspension. Air bag air depleted, trailer bag to regular height.

It is a cool idea, I see a lot of the trailer queen rides scrapping badly at local events, so can definitely work well for some. The concept is definitely cool, should not be too hard to improve on it. I would for example "cup" the airbags, so when deflated there is zero ride on them, rather than have the weight on them with the trailer fully deflated.

Very cool out of the box idea though!
