LCI Center Point Air-ride suspension ?
Reading another forum I found a post from a friend of mine (haven’t seen him in several years) about this suspension system. I have not seen it discussed here so I was curious. This is what he had to say...
edit: Try this link as the link I copied below does not work...
https://store.lci1.com/center-point-...ter-point.html
I installed Center Point Air-Ride Suspension System on my 2013 17.5K GVWR Excel 5th wheel 8 years ago. I've towed 80K miles including Alaska. We leave stuff on the bathroom and kitchen counters and they rarely move, unless I have to brake hard. No problems or complaints. I installed mine with separate air ports for left and right. Allows me to compensate for heavier kitchen side.

Very interesting looking product.
I like that it is a bolt on upgrade. I also like that it may raise the rig a bit as that may help with truck alignment and tail dragging.
But, it's really curious that it has been on the market for many years yet when I searched I could find very few reviews.
I'm hoping there are some here who have experiences with this solution that they can share.

I think I would just spend my money on IFS instead.

I had this system (center point suspension (CPS)) on our 2009 Cedar Creek - worked as described and we had absolutely no problem with it. While I consider Moryde IS to be superior, I have no qualms recommending the Center Point Suspension system.

The morryde IS is a superior product, but isn't there only like 2 places in ths country that do the install. If so than that's a whole another issue and price for the full time working people. Taking the time off and driving to the installation garage

True, but the Center Point only replaces your center equalizer using air bags, you still have have all the other Buck Board components, where as the MORryde IS replaces the entire suspension removing all the Buck Board parts.

Something I learned just recently - even though there is an 'installation location' out in Oregon or Washington, they have to do the measuring, provide those measurements to Goshen where the IS is made, then those components are shipped back west for installation. Instead of being a two to three day project, it becomes much longer for those out west.

From what I understand with the IS system from MorRyde is that you have to take it in each year on or around the anniversary date it was installed to have it inspected and checked for alignment. Sounds good but what happens if you miss that inspection and etc? Maybe I'm wrong but this is what I've understood anyway.

That was never mentioned to me.
As far as alignment when I had mine installed the guy never set the toe & I wore out my tires in 3000 miles.
I set the toe myself & they bought me a set of tires.

Rondo, don't know where you heard that, but we're coming up on six years and only returned once for a bearing upgrade and packing and check of the shear springs, and we have approx 50K on the suspension with no issues and equal tire wear.
