I have the Trailair and can tell you that it will do nothing for chucking or front to back motion. It only works in the up and down motion due to the way it is pivoted. The Fifth Air Borne would be better choice for chucking issues.

I have the Trailair had to adjust the pressure several times to get the perfect feel.When I got it I checked the air pressure with a gauge. Now I hook up and move the truck a little so it settles,then I use my 7 gal. air tank and air to 84 lbs.. Tows perfect every time and I don't have to stop to adjust. Be sure if you set for a week or more to check pressure,they will leak down some.

Good advice. I have found that my rig handles better if I overinflate - just a bit. And, per stevep7, you will get different views of where the shock reads (inflate to here, or whatever it says)dependent on uphill-downhill, braking, accelerating, etc. I find mine rides best at around 75 lb and I am usually showing high on the shock mark. Yes - they do leak a little.
I carry a 12V compressor, but usually just use my bike pump.
