Well I installed the Airlift 1000 in the Pathy this past week. Took some pictures and put them together. This is a not a "How To" video as their website has one and it is super easy ( I didn't even have to take the tires off.)
It started to Rain so at about 50 secs in the video, the camera angles changes slightly.

The Trailer is a tadem axle 16' used to haul a bobcat but for this it has an '05 FJR1300 on the Front.
Enjoy!

sweet. looks to do its intended job very well.
throw up a pic or two of your valve placement....
also, did you use a 2-1 line setup? or separate valves for each side?
how does it hold a light PSI over a length of time? (i.e. 5psi run at a constant just to firm up the ride a bit)

I will take a pic tonight of it. I mounted it right by the trailer light connector. I ran a 2 into 1. I was worried at first that the air would go from one bag to the other, but after airing it up, I saw that the bags actually expand inbetween the springs and not push up on the springs.

I've had mine installed for awhile now and I don't notice much of a change in psi over time. If anything it seems to change with the weather...I've seen it 1psi higher in very hot weather and 1psi low on cold mornings. I run 15psi unloaded which might be firm for some folks but I do a lot of very curvy roads and it does help with handling and feel through the turns. I pulled a 6x12 Uhaul the other night with about 3,000# and I aired it up to 20psi. Those trailers are pretty light on the tongue but I basically had no droop when it was hooked up. I mounted my valve under the floor in the back mainly to keep the salt and such off of it. Very good investment for the money. Not sure how it will last long-term but for the price I'm not sure it matters.
