Hello Everyone. I've been thinking about upgrading to the Center Point system. My 5th wheel currently has no upgrade to the suspension at all. I've been looking at the installation manual for the Center Point and Trailair recommends "shock absorbers to be installed but not required". Anyone out there running with the Center Point system with no shocks. Or is everyone running with shock absorbers. If you have the shocks which brand are you using? After spending the $$$$ for the Center Point system I don't want to regret later not installing the shocks at the same time
Thanks for any replies/suggestions!

My new RV came like that from the factory (center point trail air and no shocks), but I have only pulled it 5 miles home from the dealer, so I don't feel qualified enough to compare to my old RV.

Our 2001 35 ft alpenlite came with shocks and after adding the center point suspension it still has shocks (joking) . Our first fifth did not have shocks and it seemed to be ok.

Mine came with trail air centerpoint suspension and the air pin box from the factory, 5 years and 35,000 miles ago. Everything seems to be fine. The only time I notice that it has had a rough ride is when I didn't check the air in the centerpoint. As soon as I put it back where it belongs, things go back smooth again.
