A couple of easy questions ?

[RubiconBob]

Please be gentle. I did use the search button. All the links are cold, and most are five years old.

I did a major cooling system upgrade, that I haven't seen here yet. Before I can post my results. I need to make some changes. I need a source for 10mm inside diameter tranny hose.
Where can I find it?
Toyota, honda, nissan, jegs, internet, and the local hydraulic company don't have it.

I'm setting up my '99 limited to tow a 3000 pound (max) travel trailer. What are the long term opinions of the air lift 1000 spring kit?
Is there a steel spring solution to single axle trailer tongue weight?
Thanks in advance.

Been using 3/8 hose on 10mm fittings since 1980, works fine.

How much tongue weight are we talking about here? Use a load equalizing hitch and you'll be level and under control.

Thanks IBall, It's a single axle trailer. the manufacturer says weight dist hitches don't work.

I know the 3/8ths will work. I just waited 6 months for 1/4 NTP to 10mm barbs adapters to arrive. So the hose is my way to go.

i dont know of any one who manufactures a 10mm hose, again 3/8" is identical and will work fine.

as for the air lift bags, eh i ran a set, they leave some to be desired, your be better off with the firestone bags, as that kit does not use a spacer puck to fill in where the bags leave off. the firestone kit used a full length bag that when deflated does not impede suspension travel or ride quality.

Thanks Kid,
The spacer puck tip is just what I was looking for.

The manufacturer is wrong.
I haven't used or seen them myself, but have heard lots of good things about these Andersen Manufacturing Inc.
