Hi all, any tricks for making the air shocks drop? Occasionally want to leave my travel trailer connected but want to try to keep it a bit more level. As is, the trailer is slightly nose high.

There was a thread on here where a member added a dump valve cut into the line to let the pressure off.

Ypu could do an adjustable arm for the rear...then you can dial it to your liking when ever.

Pull the line off the shock. There isn’t that much air in there.

throw a inline "T" on the rear line and install a 12v solenoid with a momentary switch under the dash, just get the normally closed (NC)

actually that one is only good for about 6psi, probably need something that will hold a bit more like this one

Maybe try to see how far it drops if you pull a hose first. Just be careful you don’t lose the little clip. If you have a load leveling hitch it might not drop enough and you could do a bunch of work for little gain.

Dude just get the Air Lift 25804 kit to adjust it on-the-go. It’s only $100-130 for the full kit.
