Air Ride

[4020Deere]

The other day I saw an ad for a 92 Dodge W350 Cummins that was equipped with 'air ride'. Is this on the front suspension or cab? I was just wondering if anyone was familiar with this or if there is something similar that can be installed to give a better ride on the 1st gen trucks.

Hey Deere-

That wouldn't be anything from the factory. He's probably refering to those Firestone aftermarket air bags/springs that can be installed on the rear for a more comfy ride. (maybe front, too?)

It may be this setup, looks interesting, I would like to hear from any one that has experience with this.

I have the airbags on the rear of my 90 model. They may have softened the jolts somewhat but they create a lot of extra bouncing when not loaded. They work good when heavily loaded.

Is this setup from Kelderman? or just the add on bags that are listed in JC Whitney?



Thanks

These are just add on airbags purchased from summit racing

I have had the single bag from Kelderman on my rig for about 3 years now and have found that it made a big difference in the ride. It also makes it easy when I hook up to my camper. I just add the amount of air that it takes to level things up.

At first I was concerned about putting in too much air in the bag,

and was told that the bursting pressure was 300 lbs!!!
