Tow and Haul With Safety & Comfort with Air Lift™!
){kind=link}
I used the zip tie method to keep the bags formed like a "hot dog bun". Worked like a charm.
Don't recommend this kind of air spring. Sure it does the job when loaded, but destroys the ride quality when unloaded. Feels like you're hitting the bump stops when hitting speed bumps at any speed over crawling.
That is when following the instructions and having the minimum pressure in the air bags, I got sick of them and threw them out from my Dodge Ram 1500.
Just finished my install. Great kit. But man getting those bags in the springs is a chore!!
I bought a dodge ram with these on it I dont tow so what psi should I ride around with anybody
Will these work on a 2018 Ram 1500 with a Rough Country 6" lift?
i just installed these on a 2017 Ram 1500, i followed the instructions exactly for the first one, the second one went much much easier by doing a few things different, I routed the line down the spring from top and out the bottom where i would insert the air bladder , i attached the air line and clamp first then folded the bladder per instructions , i then compressed it tighter and put wire/zip ties around it to hold it folded tight. It slipped in pretty easily and once in place i cut the wire ties and it inflated into place. remember to put the spacer pad on first too. This was was much easier than trying to attach the line and clamp on top of the spring. I did not have to remove the tire but nearly did so on the first one , it was a bear getting that line and clamp on , i had to loosen some wheel well mud guard. Second one my way was a piece of cake. I put the filler /schrader valves next to the license tag as this was thick plastic and not drilling through metal body parts.
Why did you install them with the valve stem UP? Everyone I see is valve stem DOWN.
It works well until the bags rips at the bottom were the tab is. I would upgrade. It lasted me one year life span is not there.
Could not get them into the hot dog shape like the video, so it made it more difficult. I used the handle of a hammer and handle of a breaker bar. Remove the wheel. So much easier. Got one in before I started to get poured on. Will try soaping the other up like someone said earlier.
anyone use these for towing a camper? not sure if I need to step up to the 5000 or not hoping someone else has tried
Well. Not too bad to install via video tutorial. However I would take the time to remove the springs. The white creases that were showing concerns me that those are now weak spots. Soaping them up was easy to slide them into the spring but made it hard to run it up inside. Running the lines was okay, more zip ties would be fantastic! They're cheap!!! Lots of pinch points and sharp edges to stay away from. Somebody made a video running the lines tight to the bed and between cross members, problem is if you haul rock or something that could possibly dent the box, you could pinch those lines. So a bit of head scratching. The T was too tight for the lines to fit even after lubing, so I opted for two lines running out beside my license plate instead of one. We'll see how they hold up.
will it increase height at the rear when empty?
How would you go about removing these if for some reason it leaks? Folding it won't be possible while it's in the spring? Thanks.
i need for Honda oddyssey 1999!
im from Utah!
