Air Lift Air Leveling

[wkpoor]

If you tee them together you'll increase sway in a corner, the side with the heavier load expels air pressure into the light side lifting it even more.

Hey Skyco.....thats makes real sense. Glad you posted and straightened me out.

That's why I live in Georgia.

What is that BEAST in your avatar? That thing has to weight 18K lbs.

That's my New Holland LB115. Weighs over 19,000 lbs.
Heck my case 580 weighed 18,000.

Went with the wireless air from Airlift. Remote that displays the bag pressures and can inflate and deflate them. I mounted the compressor behind the left headlight in the Dodge 3500. Control valving is on the frame rail.

The pics sure help, is anyone running these on all four wheel? Since the diesel engine is so heavy I figure it won't hurt and maybe even improve handling. With the wireless remote do you get a mounting kit for inside the truck. Is it battery operated? If so what happens when it dies and you need to inflate it. I really like the idea of the wireless unit and no mess of tubes and wires in the cab.

The remote has a clip on it to clip onto the visor. It uses three AAA batteries and it will give you a warning when your batteries get low.

Are you running them front and rear? I think I might get the wireless air but use the firestone riderite bags instead. Their kit requires no cutting or drilling for in bed hitch applications. The air lift kit requires some custom grinding. Did you leave the extra connectors inline( in case the compressor failed)?

I really want the front shocks for the GMC on the Ride rite system. They are Bilsteins with an air cylinder in them, but I don't know if I'd get much use out of them.

I just have the bags on the back for load leveling. I ended up running Pacbrake bags instead of the Airlift bags. I don't remember the reason though!

Just got my Airlift's on this past weekend and WOW! Those things are fantastic. They improve the ride empty or loaded. Truck feels more solid and stable with no harshness. I really don't think I will need to adjust them either. They seem fine at one pressure. Even just 35lbs sets me up higher than I was before. I wish I had these things on 8yrs ago.

i put them in my 01 f-250 4x4 at all 4 corners and love them. i run about 30 in the front empty and adjust to level when loaded,and run 60 in the rears empty.i have the duel controll and compressor also and love being able to ajust going down the road.i have had rear air shocks in trucks before and it is a pain to adust before you leave to pick something up or tote a tanke with you.mine are the firestone ride-rite.i will either take them off and put them on the next truck or get another set for my next truck.
