Airbags

[MRosinski]

Is anyone running airbags that are manually inflated. Not the ones with the on-board air? Can you still get HD ones?

 

[Jumbo Jet]

I run Ride Rites. Manual inflation. Same bags as on-board uses.

On my 94, I run the Air Lift bags, manual inflation... no problems at all. Summit Racing had the best price when I bought them.

I have the same setup as Jumbo. They work great, the only way to tow. At 32k I run 75psi and it rides fairly smooth.

Air-Lift for me as well. Manually filled and it works just fine for my purposes.

How does your guys airbags hold up under 4 wheeling situations? When the truck articulates the rear axel does it try to tear the bags appart?

It can and will tear them. Same as if the truck is lifted in a garage with the axles hanging. I put limiter straps on mine to keep this from happening.

The newer custom engineered kits will not tear the bags on third gens when the truck is lifted off the ground, I've done it many times. The older style universal kit for 1st and 2nd gen trucks can tear bags under the rite circumstances but most of the time they will not.

BTW, Jegs sells a compressor kit for $100 that works great no matter what brand of bags are purchased.

I have just put on some bags from suspenion connection, cost was $238 and free shipping. no problem with my b & w hitch at all. I run about 80lb pulling a 28' gooseneck. But, the roads in Alabama are still bumpy !!!
