Long highway miles, changing loads, steep grades, and heavy trailers can expose every weakness in a tow vehicle. Before your next trip, equip your truck with Pacbrake products designed to improve load support, suspension control, downhill braking, and roadside versatility.
1. Level the Load With ALPHA™ Air Suspension
Trailer tongue weight, passengers, and cargo can compress the rear suspension and cause the truck to squat.
Pacbrake ALPHA™ Air Suspension adds adjustable load support to help reduce sag, improve stability, limit bottoming out, and restore a more level stance. Increase pressure when loaded, then reduce it when the truck is unloaded.
Air suspension does not increase your truck’s GVWR, payload rating, or towing capacity. It helps manage weight more effectively within the manufacturer’s limits.
2. Adjust Pressure From Your Phone With BRAVO™
Pacbrake BRAVO™ Wireless Air Controls make air-spring adjustment quick and convenient.
Inflate or deflate your air springs from a compatible smartphone when you connect a trailer, add cargo, switch loads, or need to correct uneven side-to-side pressure.
Depending on the system, BRAVO™ can provide pressure monitoring, independent or simultaneous control, and presets for frequently used loads. Waterproof IP67 compressor and Quick Mount options also support a clean, rugged installation.
3. Step Up to a BRAVO™ COMPLETE Combo
For maximum convenience, pair ALPHA™ Air Suspension with a BRAVO™ COMPLETE Wireless Air Control Combo Kit.
These integrated systems combine air-suspension control with onboard-air capability, providing compressed air for tire inflation, recreational equipment, ECHO™ Air Horns, and select pneumatic accessories.
A complete combo also simplifies installation by bringing the compressor, tank, controls, fittings, and mounting components together in one coordinated package.
4. Add a DELTA™ Air Tank
A compressor creates air. A Pacbrake DELTA™ Air Tank stores it for faster access when you need it.
Adding an air tank provides a reserve of compressed air for tire adjustments, roadside needs, campsites, boat launches, and remote travel. Choose the tank and compressor combination that matches your available space and expected air demands.
5. Improve Downhill Control With PRXB™
Heavy trailers place added demand on the braking system, especially on long downhill grades.
For compatible diesel trucks, the Pacbrake PRXB™ Exhaust Brake provides supplementary braking through controlled exhaust backpressure. Its pressure-regulated design delivers strong braking performance across a wider RPM range.
PRXB™ can help reduce service-brake use, manage brake heat and wear, and improve driver confidence on steep descents.
6. Set the Right Hitch Height
A trailer that sits noticeably nose-high or nose-low may not track or distribute weight as intended.
Pacbrake Adjustable Locking Ball Mounts offer multiple rise and drop positions, making it easier to match the trailer coupler height to the truck. Dual-ball options also provide added convenience for drivers who tow different trailers.
Always confirm that the receiver, ball mount, hitch ball, coupler, safety chains, and related equipment are properly installed and rated for the fully loaded trailer.
7. Install With Confidence
Pacbrake products are designed with installation in mind. Detailed, vehicle-specific manuals walk installers through each step, while Pacbrake Academy articles, educational videos, and additional online resources help answer common installation and setup questions.
Whether the work is completed at home or by a professional shop, clear instructions and educational support help make installation faster, cleaner, and more straightforward. Customers can also use Pacbrake’s dealer locator to find a local installation shop when professional help is preferred.
