Abstract
A trailing arm suspension ( ) with a height control valve ( ) in combination with an anti-creep device ( ) having an automatic reset mechanism ( ) that pressurizes the air spring of the trailing arm suspension until the rotatable arm ( ) of the anti-creep device ( ) is free to rotate from an extended position to a retracted position, even if the ride height is set too low. The automatic reset mechanism ( ) adjusts the trailer height to prevent the binding of the trailing arm suspension and the anti-creep device when the height control valve ( ) is improperly adjusted.
