Good evening gentlemen,
I just recently purchased a lowboy trailer. 1999 50 ton NGB Fontaine. I was excited to get it and put it to work. I received the trailer and put new shoes on it and redid the plumbing for the wet line kit.
Sooo, today we moved a 650j LGP and it did great. Then we loaded up the Deere 300g. I know that’s a heavy machine but I had very little ground clearance after reattaching. I’m talking about maybe one inch. It was so slow that we couldn’t move it unless we left the pressure on the cylinders.
The truck is a 2006 Freightliner, 14L Detroit with air ride. The trailer is air ride as well. All air bags are inflated and seem to look proper.
We tried all the differnt ride settings on the trailer and none worked. Can someone point me in the right direction to fix my ground clearance problems?
I wish I could buy a new trailer but that is not a option, I had to save for months to buy this one.
