Wow, good rule of thumb on the air bag height on all your axles. It's nice to have pressure guages like you have there. Thanks for explaining the shims!
@@deshaunspencer6985 Like truck suspension or some of the older style heavy haul trailers? Or do you mean west coast style evener beam? Or all the above?
No, as a rule I don’t tie them down because the trailer deflects (bounces) different that the boom does. It’s hard on the swing bearing and often breaks chains or binders or worse yet damages boom. I always have the upper chained so it can’t swing but not in a way that could damage the rig.
@@Junkyardmethod all I ever ran was hydraulic power boosters. I had friends ran east coast setups. Every big dip in the road I seen there stinger just pick the back end of there wagon off the ground no thanks lol
@@puretrouble1603 trash in the turbo, water in the turbo, and yes in certain machines and exhaust systems you can absolutely spin the turbo going down the road. Stick your hand out of the window at 30 mph and feel how much air is moving across your hand. Will a new machine with a DPF spin? Probably not. An old machine with almost no muffler and a straight shot into the turbo…heck yes. Why give somebody a reason to say you were the potential cause of a failure or problem?
I’ve tried every mirror extension on the market. Short of mobile home style they aren’t worth the cost or trouble. The only style that was even close is made by Murray.

Excellent video sir, I appreciate the tips and tricks.
Great video, great information, please make more videos.
can you do a video of shimming the trailer, traveling empty?
Bad ass stay safe👍
Can you do a video about walking beam

Did you tie down the boom/stick?
No, as a rule I don’t tie them down because the trailer deflects (bounces) different that the boom does. It’s hard on the swing bearing and often breaks chains or binders or worse yet damages boom. I always have the upper chained so it can’t swing but not in a way that could damage the rig.
No issues I see.

One reason I don't really care for the East coast setup
Agreed. In my over the road days all I ran were west coast. The nitro stingers have made it better but still not as easy as west coast setups.

@@Dachamp2001 they can reach out and bite you in the ass if they’re not shimmed right!
@@Junkyardmethod I see lol
You will never spin the turbo if you don't cover the exhaust!! Why do people cover these??

Because my company told me to
If you have the proper mirror extensions you don’t need the flags to see the booster!!!
