Just shoot me! That's when you get a tow hook.... as fast as you're going now - you'll need one eventually anyway.. LOL

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?

I was doing some work on the 3rd story of a house a few years back when my ladder kicked out some.

So now I like that 'how low can you go look' ya posted up there Jerdawg.

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

It has an onboard air setup (see box on the front). That draws trailer power 12V from the tow rig, electric compressor fills the tank up. You could also add to the setup a Schrader valve and check valve and fill from any compressor or gas station as well. Pretty similar to RideTech air ride stuff.

I have helped a serious amount of customers load and unload their cars through the years and a winch with the remote is the best way still to do it IMO. Nothing wrong with being able to put a hook somewhere an doing it your self without help
