Location: CO		Any one having trouble with a Platinum horse trailer with air ride with the shock brackets breaking? I have less than 15,000 highway miles (very few dirt road miles) on my trailer. I have had to replace one shock after 2 years because the steel bracket broke, I had another shock break and the 3 still on the trailer are broken.

Take your trailer across the scales and get your axle weights...

Are you using an air drier on your inflation line?

What pressure levels are you running?

Location: CO		and the axle weight will tell me??
why an air drier on the line? Platinum installed the airbags and the separate shock system

If you are overloaded based on the size of the brackets they installed...

Compressing air will create moisture
